Earlier on Friday, we covered claims from Germany that Bayern Munich and Fulham have reached a total agreement of €65m plus bonuses for João Palhinha’s transfer
It was also said the midfielder was on his way to Munich to carry out the transfer formalities but the deal wasn’t done since Marco Silva’s side have to bring in a replacement for him first.
Fulham are yet to announce his successor but the 28-year-old has already landed in Germany, according to Sky Deutschland Torben Hoffmann.
He tweeted a video of Portugal international arriving at Barmherzigen Brüder’s hospital in Munich to carry out the medical tests with the Bundesliga winners. This is a clear indication the player’s move to the Allianz Arena is edging closer.
Palhinha joined Fulham from Sporting last summer and was an integral part of Silva’s squad, making 40 appearances in all competitions, managing four goals in the process. He has a goal from three games this season.
The window closes at 11pm today and Fulham have a few hours left to sign Palhinha’s replacement.
