Attention! Benfica now know how much Palhinha would cost at the Luz | OneFootball

Benfica’s interest in João Palhinha is already known, and there could soon be an official offer from the Eagles’ SAD to Bayern Munich. The board led by Rui Costa has already opened talks with the midfielder’s agents, and the figures on the table are now known.

According to Record, the Eagles could soon move forward with a €25 million offer. The other option on the table is a loan deal with a €10 million fee and a mandatory €15 million purchase clause. Bayern would cover part of his salary in the event of a loan. The Eagles’ SAD’s ideal scenario is to sell a player before making an offer.

The Portugal international, who recently turned 31, is under contract with the Bavarians until 2028, but the German club managed by Vincent Kompany does not intend to keep him in the squad. He was loaned to Tottenham last season, establishing himself as an important player in the London side’s difficult campaign, but Spurs did not trigger the €30 million purchase clause.

With that in mind, Benfica want to take the lead. He is a player admired by Marco Silva, as they worked together at Fulham between 2022 and 2024. He is also being tracked by Premier League clubs. Ruben Amorim’s Milan are also keeping an eye on him.

This season, in Tottenham’s service, João Palhinha — valued at €15 million — made 45 official appearances: 33 in the Premier League, eight in the Champions League, two in the EFL Cup, one in the FA Cup and one in the UEFA Super Cup. In the 2,917 minutes he was on the pitch, the defensive midfielder scored seven goals and provided two assists.
