Bundesliga champions Joao Palhinha are looking to cash in on him, and his former club Fulham are interested. According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, the development will come as a major boost for Fulham, who are hoping to get the deal done.
The Portuguese intenrational cost Bayern Munich €56 million, and they are likely to want a premium for him. It remains to be seen whether Fulham are prepared to pay a premium for the player. The 29-year-old was an exceptional performer for them before he moved to Germany. Bringing him back would be a wise decision.
The Portuguese international is still very much at the peak of his career, and he will look to get his career back on track with regular football at the London club. Returning to the Premier League could be ideal for him. He knows the league well, and he played his best football at Fulham.
Meanwhile, the move to Bayern Munich has not worked out for him as planned. He was not a regular starter for the German club last season. He needs to play more often, and returning to England would be ideal.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich need more depth in the middle of the park, and they will need to bring in a quality player if Palhinha ends up leaving the club.
The German champions will look to recoup most of the €56 million that they paid for the player. It will be interesting to see if any club is willing to pay up. The midfielder has been linked with clubs like Manchester United as well.
The 29-year-old we look to sort out his permanent future soon and focus on his football once again. He will certainly hope that Fulham and Bayern Munich can come to an agreement quickly.
It will be interesting to see if the 29-year-old decides to join a big club this summer. He might want to fight for trophies at this stage of his career, and Fulham might not be able to provide him with that opportunity. With clubs like Manchester United linked, he will certainly weigh up a big move.
