According to a report from Portuguese outlet SIC Notícias (as captured by iMiaSanMia_GER), Bayern Munich and Benfica have reached an agreement for the transfer of defensive midfielder João Palhinha:
Bayern and Benfica have reached an agreement for the transfer of João Palhinha. Benfica will pay 15 million € + an additional 5 million € upon achieving certain targets. The move is expected to be completed shortly.
Benfica re-emerged on to the scene as a serious contender for Palhinha in recent days and could be very close to bringing the Portuguese 31-year-old back to his homeland.
While Aston Villa and Newcastle United were also rumored to be interested, but that has cooled — allegedly — because of Bayern Munich's asking price.
Palhinha's Bayern Munich career has obviously not gone according to plan. Signed from Fulham in 2024 for a significant fee, the Portuguese midfielder struggled to establish himself as a regular under Vincent Kompany and made just 25 appearances before spending last season on loan at Tottenham Hotspur.
