João Palhinha remains one of the most talked-about names in the transfer market, particularly as far as the Alvalade club is concerned, and at this stage, he has two possible destinations on the table for next season: staying at Tottenham or returning to Sporting.
According to information reported by Sky Sport this Saturday, the future of the Portuguese international should see developments soon, as the midfielder wants to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.
Tottenham remain interested in securing the continued stay of João Palhinha, but are looking to renegotiate the terms of the deal with Bayern Munich - who are themselves under pressure. The London club had secured a purchase option in the loan agreement signed last season, but now want to lower the figures initially set.
It should be remembered that the clause negotiated between the English and German clubs was set at €25 million, and could reach €30 million through the achievement of objectives. Even so, those in charge at Spurs believe it will be possible to reach an agreement for a lower fee.
According to the same source, negotiations between the clubs are ongoing, a scenario that keeps Tottenham in a favourable position to secure the Portuguese midfielder’s stay. On the other side is Sporting, who remain attentive to the situation. The Lions have been following the process for several weeks and are waiting for clarity regarding the player’s future before making a more concrete move.
