Bayern Munich’s Summer Shopping Spree Continues
The Bundesliga giants are at it again, and this time, they’ve set their sights on Fulham’s star player, Joao Palhinha. According to reports, Bayern Munich are close to finalizing the signing of the Portuguese midfielder in the June 2024 transfer window.

Following the appointment of Vincent Kompany as the new head coach of Bayern Munich, the German club has been busy in the transfer market. And it seems they’re not done yet. After missing out on Palhinha last summer, Bayern Munich have revived their interest in the 28-year-old midfielder.

The deal, which is expected to be completed within the next few days, will see Palhinha join Bayern Munich at a significantly lower price than the initial £60m-£70m fee that was agreed upon last summer. Fulham’s decision to withdraw from the deal on deadline day has proven to be a blessing in disguise for Bayern Munich.
The Portuguese midfielder is set to join Bayern Munich
Palhinha, who has also been on Manchester City’s radar, has been included in Roberto Martinez’s 26-man Portugal squad for Euro 2024. The midfielder will be eager to finalize the transfer before the tournament kicks off in Germany.
Bayern Munich’s summer shopping spree is a clear indication of their ambition to dominate the Bundesliga and make a deep run in the Champions League. With Palhinha on board, they’ll be looking to strengthen their midfield and build a team capable of competing with the best in Europe.
The stage is set for Palhinha to shine
As the transfer window heats up, one thing is certain - Bayern Munich are not messing around. They’re building a team to win, and they’re willing to do whatever it takes to get there.
