João Palinha, who was on the list for the release of Bayern Munich, has been raised about the possibility of a reversal transfer in the summer transfer market.
Britain's Straty News reported on the 17th (Korea Standard Time) 'Manchester United can return an upgraded player to the English Premier League (EPL).'
Straty News reported that Manchester United may get a chance to sign João Palinha. Palinha moved to Bayern Munich for 51 million euros (about 80 billion won) last summer. However, he played only 21 games this season despite struggling to gain a place under Coach Bang Sang Kompany. He is expected to return to the EPL next season, and his agent has offered him to the EPL big clubs.
According to the news, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool could emerge as possible destinations. Already considered recruiting some of the teams to sell. Among them, Christian Eriksen is confirmed to leave Manchester United. Palinha is a different style, but he can replace Eriksen's place.

Palinha, who made his professional debut in Sporting through the Sporting Youth Team, began making his name known through his transfer to Fulham in 2022. Palinha, who played for Fulham and began to be evaluated as the top defensive midfielder in the EPL, entered the Bundesliga stage in the summer of 2024 with Bayern's persistent courtship. Initially, expectations were high for the solid defense shown in the EPL, competitive ability using physicality, wide coverage, and compliance with ball distribution, so expectations were high that it would be a solid main resource to protect the four-back defense, including Kim Min-jae, after joining Bayern.
However, Palinha has rarely shown any performance since moving to Bayern. He played only 943 minutes in 21 games, including 14 Bundesliga games this season. Palinha, which shows a relatively slow transition speed under Kompany, could not be used. It also caused problems outside of the game. Despite having a wife, he was controversial by committing an affair with an employee of the club. The environment to focus on the game was also not created when there was noise in private life.
Bayern predicted a release after a year. Reporter Christian Polk said 'Bayern Munich plans to sell João Palinha. Hoping to recoup some of the transfer fee, he is considered a failure in the Bundesliga but has a good reputation in the Premier League. Munich hopes this will lead to an appropriate proposal.'

In this situation, the club that paid attention to Palinha was Manchester United. Manchester United is likely to transfer Eriksen and Casemiro after this season. Reinforcing the midfield is inevitable. Palinha also has experience coaching Manchester United current manager Huven Amorim at Sporting from 2020 to 2022. There is a high possibility that he will sufficiently recruit the team as it is not difficult to adapt to tactics.
An old teacher's call could arrive in front of Palinha, who was on the verge of being kicked out of Bavaria. If Palinha and Amorim's reunion can take place next season, many fans are expected to pay attention to what the outcome will lead to.
