Benfica offer huge bonus and salary to land João Palhinha, all details | OneFootball

Benfica do not want to let João Palhinha slip away over a financial issue and are willing to make a significant effort to secure the Portuguese international’s return to the Luz. The Eagles have for some time maintained an understanding with the player regarding the terms of a possible move and have already defined their salary offer.

According to Record, Benfica’s SAD is prepared to offer €2.5 million net per season, a figure that would also be topped up with a significant signing-on bonus. The intention is to bring the conditions offered to the midfielder closer to those he could find at other destinations.

Palhinha’s desire to return to Portugal is, naturally, an important trump card for Rui Costa and Benfica’s hierarchy. Even so, the Eagles know they are not alone in the race and that competition has intensified in recent hours.

Newcastle have opened talks with Bayern Munich with a view to a permanent signing, a solution particularly favoured by the German club. The Bavarians do not want to loan the player out again and are looking to recoup part of the investment made when signing the Portuguese midfielder from Fulham. The Bavarians are valuing him at around €25 million, while the English side have financial muscle that is difficult for Benfica to match.

At 31, Palhinha remains under contract with the German side, but his desire to return to the Luz could weigh heavily in the decision. Benfica maintain their understanding with the midfielder and are now trying to find a formula that will allow them to overcome competition from Newcastle. The next negotiations with Bayern will be decisive in determining whether Palhinha’s desire can outweigh the financial power of the Premier League.
