João Palhinha leaving FC Bayern München?

FC Bayern is planning to sell João Palhinha after a disappointing season where he only made 21 appearances, starting just nine times. He was initially bought from Fulham for more than 50 million euros but does not fit into the plans of head coach Vincent Kompany. The club aims to sell him without incurring a significant loss and hopes for interest from a financially strong Premier League club, as Palhinha is still held in high regard in England.

João Palhinha, who transferred to FC Bayern last summer from FC Fulham for 51 million euros, might be sold as a condition for Leon Goretzka's contract extension. Despite wanting to prove himself in Munich, his performance has been affected by various absences.

90min reports on Bayern Munich's willingness to entertain offers for Joao Palhinha this summer.

Bayern Munich acquired João Palhinha from Fulham for a transfer fee of 51 million euros. Although he came with high expectations and was highly sought after by Bayern the previous summer, his performance has not lived up to these expectations. Palhinha has only played in 15 matches, starting in 7 of them. His position in the team has been affected by physical problems and illness, causing him to rank below Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, and Aleksandar Pavlovic in the team's hierarchy. Some officials at the club reportedly believe that he is not progressing as anticipated, and a sale during the summer transfer window is a possibility if his situation does not improve.

Bayern Munich is considering selling João Palhinha for 40 million euros as part of a financial stability plan. The club wants to get rid of players who lack consistency in performances.
