Watch out, Sporting! João Palhinha wants to sign and has made his move | OneFootball

João Palhinha wants his future resolved as quickly as possible and has already made that intention clear to his representatives. The Portuguese midfielder remains one of Sporting’s main targets to replace Morten Hjulmand, but the process is still blocked by Bayern Munich’s stance.

The Bavarian club’s officials continue to demand at least €25 million to let the Portugal international leave, a figure that has made significant progress in the negotiations difficult. Even so, the player does not want the matter to drag on for most of the summer and is looking for clarity in the near future.

A return to Alvalade remains a scenario that appeals to Palhinha. The 30-year-old midfielder has never hidden his connection to Sporting and would welcome the possibility of returning to the club where he spent much of his youth development. However, that is not the only option on the table.

Tottenham remain attentive to the situation and are still interested in securing the player, following his season in the Premier League. The English club is studying the possibility of presenting a definitive solution to Bayern, competing directly with the Lions for the signing of the Portugal international.

The uncertainty surrounding Palhinha has led Sporting to line up alternatives for the deepest midfield position. While the Portugal international’s situation remains without decisive developments, Sporting’s board is also keeping a close eye on Sergi Altimira and is already working on other options in case neither of the two main targets arrives at Alvalade in this transfer window.
