"Meanwhile, wages were also saved in the midfield department. Joao Palhinha left Die Roten to join Tottenham Hotspur on a season-long loan. The Portuguese midfielder's wages are completely covered by the Premier League club. Spurs also have an option to sign Palhinha on a permanent deal for €30 million. According to Ben Jacobs, Palhinha has no plans to return to Munich next season. The Portuguese international is hoping to stay at Spurs."
"The former Fulham midfielder had pushed for an option to buy in the deal as a contingency to eventually seal a permanent move to the Premier League. Palhinha has enjoyed a good start to the season at Spurs under Thomas Frank. He will end up getting adequate game time this season, which is crucial for him to book a place in Portugal's squad for the World Cup."
Bayern Munich trimmed its wage bill by letting Thomas Müller, Leroy Sane, and Kingsley Coman leave, saving significant attacking wages. Joao Palhinha joined Tottenham Hotspur on a season-long loan with Spurs covering his wages and holding a €30 million purchase option. Palhinha pushed for the buy option and reportedly intends to remain at Spurs rather than return to Munich. He has started the season well under Thomas Frank and is expected to receive enough game time to contend for a Portugal World Cup squad place. Palhinha arrived in Munich in 2024 after a delayed transfer and was signed for over €50 million.
