Tottenham signed Joao Palhinha on loan from Bayern Munich during the summer transfer window.
The Portuguese international has been a key player for the club so far. He has been outstanding with his performances, and Tottenham have an option to make the move permanent.
Tottenham want to sign Joao Palhinha permanently
According to Ben Jacobs on GMS, they are ready to make the move permanent for a fee of around £26 million.
However, they are still considering whether to negotiate a more reasonable fee with the German club. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. They have previously followed a similar modus operandi to sign Mathys Tel.
The Portuguese international is not a part of the first team plans at Bayern Munich in future, and they will look to get rid of him. It could be a golden opportunity for Tottenham to negotiate a reasonable deal for the player. Although £26 million is quite reasonable for a player of his quality, they will be hoping to take advantage of his situation and sign him for a lesser fee.
Palhinha will want to stay
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. He is a key player for Tottenham, and they must look to keep him at the club beyond the season. The midfielder will want to stay at the London club as well. He has regained his form and confidence with them. He is enjoying his football at Tottenham, and he will look to help them win trophies.
Tottenham are looking to build a team capable of fighting for trophies regularly, and the Portuguese international will be crucial to their ambitions. He is at the peak of his career, and he will look to perform at the highest level regularly. The £26 million deal could look like a major bargain.
