Tottenham Eyeing Permanent Deal for bayern Loanee João Palhinha
London, UK – Tottenham Hotspur are poised to make a move for João Palhinha, currently on loan from FC Bayern Munich, as early as the January transfer window.The Portuguese midfielder has reportedly impressed Spurs officials, leading the club to consider activating his release clause.
palhinha, who arrived at Bayern in 2024 as a target for then-manager Thomas Tuchel, has struggled to secure a consistent role in Munich. Limited to 17 Bundesliga appearances last season, with only three full 90-minute performances, the player found himself marginalized within Vincent Kompany’s system, prompting the loan arrangement.Now, Tottenham sees an prospect to secure a long-term solution in defensive midfield.
According to reports from TBR Football, Tottenham are prepared to approach Bayern regarding Palhinha’s approximately €30 million release clause during the winter transfer period. While initially brought in to bolster Bayern’s defensive midfield, Palhinha has not fully established himself in the squad, potentially leading to a swift end to his tenure in Munich, either this winter or at the close of the season.
