Bayern football director gives more detail on Benfica talks for Palhinha | OneFootball

João Palhinha is getting closer and closer to joining Benfica, but the transfer has still not been officially finalized. Max Eberl, Bayern Munich’s managing director for football, confirmed that negotiations are ongoing for the departure of the Portuguese international, although a few details still need to be sorted out to complete the deal.

The Bavarian official addressed the future of the 31-year-old midfielder at a press conference: "I don’t want to avoid the João topic. If I previously said there was movement, now there is a lot of movement. However, a few details still need to be agreed, as usually happens in negotiations of this kind," he said.

Benfica have reportedly already reached an understanding with Bayern Munich for the player’s transfer, in a deal that could represent a significant investment by the Eagles. The agreement between the clubs has been set at 14 million euros, with a further 5 million possible in add-ons.

Despite the agreement, there is still one issue to be resolved before Palhinha can be officially announced as a new signing for the Reds. The Portuguese midfielder will have to settle some financial details with the German club, in a process that is now being handled between the parties.
