Bayern Munich plan to keep João Palinha next season.
Christian Polk, a German transfer market expert who works for Sport Bild, Germany, said on the 20th (Korea time) "
English Premier League (EPL) clubs are interested in Palinha, and he still has a good reputation in the EPL. His former team Fulham FC and West Ham United are among the teams that have shown interest."
Bayern, however, should be determined to take the loss because the two London clubs are unlikely to pay the full 50 million euros (about 81.1 billion won). Apparently, whether it's sold or not is unhappy with the progress of this season and is willing to switch to another team if things don't get better."
Palinha is a defensive midfielder that Bayern has been aiming for since the summer of 2023. Bayern, which tried to reform the midfield, succeeded in recruiting Palinha two years ago, but the transfer was canceled because it could not find a replacement at Fulham. A year later, Bayern re-signed Palinha. For Bayern, which had poor defense protection, whether it was sold or not seemed to be a big boost.
However, Palinha has no performance this season due to injuries, sluggishness and personal history. Despite being at the end of this season, the playing time is less than 1,000 minutes. It was only natural for Palinha to be mentioned as a target for sale, as he has not been helpful all season.
It was full of questions about whether it was sold privately. Immediately after the transfer, he had an affair with an employee of the Bavarian club and eventually divorced his wife. Personally, he became a player who caused problems within the club, but he did not have a good impact on the team in terms of performance.
Surprisingly, however, Bayern declared that it would not sell Palinha. Bayern Sports Director Christopher Freund said "Faligna has yet to make a proper rhythm. It was an injury effect. This is his first season playing for such a big club. He is a true professional player, a great personality, and a top player. It's not our plan at all to get him out in the summer," he firmly drew the line.
When Bayern coach Vincent Kompany was also asked about Palinha's performance, "It's not always the problem that someone is not good, it's what other players are good at. I was unlucky with injuries, but now I'm perfectly ready to help the team when the opportunity comes. I hope he will show his ability through more opportunities in the future," he said, expressing his willingness to use Palinha.
Bayern classified Kim Min-jae, who sacrificed for the team while struggling throughout the season, as a sellable target. But he's trying to get into an affair and keep to see if he's sold out of any help to the team. It is a team direction that is difficult to understand easily.
