Palhinha’s social media move thrills Benfica fans amid transfer push | OneFootball

João Palhinha’s potential return to Benfica took a fresh twist after the Bayern Munich midfielder liked a post by Benfica supporter Guilherme Cabral highlighting the 7-0 win over Casa Pia in Rio Maior.

With only a few weeks left in the window, his future remains open. According to Record, Benfica have put forward a net salary of 2.5 million euros a year plus a significant signing-on bonus.

Palhinha’s wish to return to Portugal helps the Lisbon club, but Bayern Munich remain the key obstacle. The German side want to recoup part of what they paid Fulham and are pricing him at around 25 million euros.

Bayern do not plan to loan out the 31-year-old again and are prepared to sell outright. Benfica are said to be edging towards those figures with a deal worth roughly 20 million euros including bonuses.

The next round of talks with Bayern will be decisive. Palhinha’s desire to wear Benfica colours again appears to be prevailing over the financial power of the Premier League, and a move back to the Luz is inching closer.
