"I think the Joao Palhinha signing has been excellent for Tottenham. The original agreement had an option to buy, which is set at £27m. That was something that both Tottenham and the player were very keen on factoring in as part of the deal. Palhinha, in particular, viewed the loan as being contingent, in many ways, on having that option to buy because he would like to be permanently back in the Premier League."
"Palhinha joined Bayern from Fulham in the summer of 2024, with the Bavarian giants paying a handsome fee of around £47.4m for his signature. The move did not work out well for him as he made only 25 appearances in all competitions last season. Arsenal made an approach to sign Joao Palhinha, but in the end, he moved to Spurs on a loan deal."
Joao Palhinha moved from Fulham to Bayern in summer 2024 for around £47.4m but made only 25 appearances last season. He joined Tottenham on loan with an option to buy set at £27m. Palhinha has adapted well at Spurs, performing strongly and expressing a desire to remain in the Premier League. Tottenham and the player reportedly valued the buy option as a condition of the loan. Bayern appear willing to sell if Tottenham trigger the clause, a solution described as fitting the interests of all parties.
