New update: Benfica issue ultimatum for João Palhinha | OneFootball

Benfica have already started talks with Bayern Munich over João Palhinha, one of the priorities to strengthen the squad led by Marco Silva. The club from Luz hopes to secure the midfielder’s signing and will submit a formal offer to the Bavarians.

According to information from Maisfutebol, Rui Costa and Herbert Hainer, Bayern’s president, are discussing the following deal structure: a one-year loan with a mandatory purchase clause, worth a little over €15 million.

It is worth remembering that the Eagles’ leader had already been clear about this case. "You know the conditions Palhinha has at Bayern, you know the conditions Bayern are asking for Palhinha," he said two weeks ago.

With less than a month left before the transfer window closes, Benfica want to tie down the 31-year-old Portugal international, but know that this process will require a lot of patience, because of the Germans’ demands.

. They also stressed that the priority is to transfer him permanently rather than loan him out. The player’s salary could also be an obstacle.
