It was true that Tottenham was interested in João Palinha.
British Football London said on the 22nd (Korea time) 'Tottenham should send out at least one central midfielder before pushing for Bayern Munich's interest in signing Palinha. Another Premier League (EPL) player Tottenham is interested in was Palinha. He moved to Bayern a year ago, reports said.
The 30-year-old Palinha's transfer to Bayern for a transfer fee of 46 million pounds (about 85.9 billion won) has not been successful so far. At Bayern, he made only six starts in Germany's Bundesliga and only nine appearances in all tournaments, he added.
Palinha was an EPL-leading defensive midfielder when he played for Fulham. He showed stable performance and strong ball deodorization ability. He was also a trusted player for Portugal, playing an important role in defense and pass connection in the midfield.
However, after moving to Bayern, he did not perform as well as expected due to various problems. The biggest stumbling block would have been personal privacy. After being found to have cheated on a Bavarian employee over his pregnant wife, he went through divorce proceedings. In addition, Palinha did not have the trust of coach Vincent Kompany at all amid injuries and poor performance. Bayern is trying to sell it as it is on the release list for the first time in a season.
Palinha showed his willingness to continue his career at Bayern, but he has been completely excluded from Kompany's plan, so there is a possibility that his mind will be shaken if he receives a transfer offer. This is because as a member of the Portuguese national team, he must perform well in his team to continue his career.
It is surprising that Tottenham is trying to recruit such a player, but Tottenham seems to be considering loan rather than full recruitment. Because Palinha was born in 1995 and is in his 30s, if he fully recruits him and continues his sluggish performance at Bayern, he will be a failed recruitment that is difficult to resell.
Another point that Tottenham does not like is that Bayern wants a transfer fee of at least 25 million euros (about 40.5 billion won) to reverse its failed recruitment. Football London also noted that the sum is not in line with Tottenham's policy of high-value investment, focusing on young players, and given that Palinha, who is in his 30s, rarely played last season, Tottenham prefers to sign on loan, including options, unless the price goes down.
Recently, manager Thomas Frank expressed his willingness to keep Bentancourt in the team. Since there is a high possibility of the release of Bissouma, if Bissouma leaves, the rumor of a transfer to Palinha is expected to become more concrete.
