Attention! João Palhinha deal takes new turn in Benfica's favour | OneFootball

He arrived in Lisbon this Saturday, at a time when his transfer to Benfica is in its final stages. Benfica SAD already has an agreement with Bayern Munich and with the Portugal international, with new developments regarding the deal.

According to information from Record newspaper, the defensive midfielder received permission from the Bavarians to extend his stay in Lisbon by one more day and may not even return to Bavaria if the final details of his release from the German champions are resolved in the meantime.

The midfielder arrived in Portugal carrying several suitcases. Curiously, the trip took place on the same day Bayern won the Super Cup (2-1) against Borussia Dortmund. "I am still a Bayern player. I have two days off, I came to spend time with my children, on Sunday I return to Munich", he assured at Humberto Delgado Airport.

Max Eberl, the Bavarians' sporting director, addressed the matter after winning the trophy and admitted that talks are ongoing. "He has two days off and went to visit family. Of course Portugal is his country and there is a club interested, we'll see what happens in the coming days", he said.

The reality is that the transfer to the Luz is getting closer and closer. Benfica and Bayern have already reached an understanding to complete the deal, with the Eagles paying 14 million euros, plus 5 million in add-ons. .
