Joao Palhinha to Bayern Munich is on! Portugal star to join Harry Kane at Allianz Arena as Fulham agree to €46m transfer - with medical already pencilled in for Vincent Kompany's top target

According to <a href="https://x.com/Plettigoal/status/1808464354787942645" target="_blank">Sky Sports Germany</a>, the Portuguese midfielder will play in the Bundesliga next season as the Bavarians have been able to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/joao-palhinha-bayern-fulham-midfielder-german-giants-offer/blt5df757117a53d737" target="_blank">thrash out a deal with Fulham</a> after extensive negotiations. Palhinha is expected to undergo his medical examination after the European Championship, ensuring all formalities are completed before he joins his new team-mates in Germany.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Throughout the negotiation process, Palhinha has been clear about his intentions that he wants a transfer to Bayern. Recently, he stated in a press conference that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/joao-palhinha-fulham-departure-bayern-munich-saga-another-twist-45m-offer/blte23ca6a0c28d5cdd" target="_blank">both teams are aware of his preferred destination. </a>He has already agreed to personal terms with his potential new employers and will sign a deal until 2028.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Fulham’s firm stance on Palhinha’s valuation of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bayern-munich-learn-joao-palhinha-asking-price-fulham-reject-30m-bid/blte865dd61beab16b5" target="_blank">£60m ($76m) has been a major talking point </a>in this transfer saga. Despite Bayern’s repeated attempts to lower the transfer fee, Fulham held out for the figure. Nonetheless, the final agreement at €45m plus add-ons reflects a compromise on the part of the Cottagers as the player remains adamant to leave Craven Cottage for a fresh challenge.

DID YOU KNOW?

The reported agreement between Bayern and Fulham for Palhinha marks the end of a prolonged transfer saga. With his future allegedly sorted, the midfielder can keep his focus entirely on the European Championship where Portugal will lock horns with France in the last eight on Friday evening for a place in the semi-finals.
