Bayern Munich's João Palhinha set for Tottenham medical ahead of loan move
reports that João Palhinha is set to have his medical ahead of completing a loan move to Tottenham. Palhinha will have his medical in Germany, with Tottenham currently in Hong Kong for pre-season, ahead of his move back to the Premier League. The 30-year-old joined Bayern last summer for €51m after the club failed to sign him two summers ago from Fulham. However, Thomas Tuchel, who wanted to sign Palhinha, was no longer at the club, and new head coach Vincent Kompany used the Portuguese international sparingly. An injury at the front end of last season did not help, but Palhinha only made 10 starts for Bayern, totalling 986 minutes across 25 appearances. The fact that Bayern went ahead with the €51m move for the 30-year-old, mainly due to goodwill, does show the current state that the club is in at the moment. The failed move for the midfielder will likely approach the transfer of Sadio Mané in terms of failures. Other departures from Bayern this summer are Thomas Müller, who is set to join Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS, as well as fringe players Adam Aznou to Everton, and Bryan Zaragoza has joined Celta Vigo.

Palhinha back in the Premier League with Tottenham on loan from Bayern - World
Tottenham has bolstered its midfield ahead of its return to the Champions League by signing Portugal international João Palhinha on loan from Bayern Munich with an option to buy. The defensive midfielder returns to London and the Premier League a year after leaving Fulham for a much-hyped but largely unsuccessful move to Bayern. He has three years left on his Bayern contract. Bayern and Tottenham both confirmed the move Sunday. Palhinha offers a similar defensive midfield option to Spurs' Rodrigo Bentancur or Yves Bissouma. Expectations for Palhinha at Bayern were high but his time spent there had ended with the Portuguese midfielder spending most of the Club World Cup on the bench. Palhinha was a key target for Bayern in 2023, when then-coach Thomas Tuchel wanted to shore up Bayern's midfield. Palhinha even came to Munich for a medical but Bayern's deal with Fulham collapsed at the last moment. When Bayern finally did sign Palhinha for a reported fee of nearly 50 million euros (then $54.2 million) a year later, Vincent Kompany was the new coach. Palhinha's season was affected by injuries or illness but, even when he was fit, Kompany often preferred youngster Aleksandar Pavlovic in the midfield instead. Palhinha only started 10 of the 25 games he played for Bayern in all competitions and was an unused substitute in four of Bayern's five games at the Club World Cup. It's the second time this off-season that Tottenham has signed a player who was out of favor at Bayern after making forward Mathys Tel's loan move permanent.
