Bayern Munich’s sporting director, Christoph Freund, has shed light on the club’s persistent interest in Fulham’s defensive maestro, João Palhinha, hinting at the Bavarian giants’ ambitious plans for the upcoming January transfer window.

Freund emphatically stated, “Our interest in Palhinha remains unwavering. We dedicated significant efforts to secure his signature last summer, working tirelessly until the transfer window’s final hours. As we approach the winter window, our commitment to exploring opportunities in the market is stronger than ever.” While Freund refrained from divulging specific details, Bayern Munich appears poised to present an offer for Palhinha, possibly at a more economical figure than Fulham’s current valuation.

The Bundesliga powerhouse, in need of one or two versatile midfielders, is actively pursuing reinforcements. Despite Palhinha recently extending his contract with Fulham, Bayern’s interest persists, and negotiations may factor in the player’s heightened valuation resulting from the new deal.

The ongoing saga underscores Bayern Munich’s strategic approach to strengthening their squad, and the football world eagerly awaits the unfolding developments in the transfer pursuit.

Here is the highlight video of Paulinha’s some skills.
