Tottenham In Advanced Talks For João Palhinha Loan From Bayern
Tottenham Hotspur are negotiating with Bayern Munich to bring back midfielder João Palhinha. The Portuguese player wants to join Spurs, and talks for a possible loan are now happening.
WHAT HAPPENED?
In the last two weeks, Tottenham and Palhinha’s agents have talked many times. The player, who joined Bayern last summer, wants to play regularly and return to the Premier League. He has agreed in principle to the transfer, making Spurs more eager to talk to Bayern about a loan. Bayern might let Palhinha go if they find a good deal. Tottenham are considering the loan to strengthen their midfield for the new season.
TOTENHAM’S MIDFIELD SHAKE-UP
Tottenham may need to let go of at least one midfielder to bring in Palhinha. Yves Bissouma, who has a year left on his deal, may leave. Juventus seem less interested now, but West Ham might try to sign the Portugal international. Spurs hope Palhinha’s defensive role will help balance their team, allowing more freedom for creative players. Last season, Tottenham finished 17th in the Premier League. They want to improve for a top-four finish.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR PALHINHA AND SPURS?
Spurs start their new Premier League season against Burnley at home in ten days. If Palhinha’s deal is completed soon, he might debut in that match, giving Spurs a quick boost. The team wants to improve their league position from the start. More negotiations between the teams are expected soon.
