João Palhinha hit with bombshell, learns Tottenham’s intentions | OneFootball

Tottenham is quite satisfied with João Palhinha's performances and will sign the midfielder permanently. The player from Sporting joined Thomas Frank's squad on loan, valid until the end of the season.

According to information provided by Ekrem Konur - a Turkish journalist specializing in transfer market matters - the Spurs have already decided to activate the purchase option agreed with Bayern Munich at the end of the season.

The same source reveals that the London club has the possibility to sign the Portuguese international for a sum of 26 million pounds, approximately 30 million euros, moving forward permanently at the end of the sports season.

At this time, the midfielder is focused on serving the National Team, where he also expressed satisfaction for returning to the Premier League: "I feel total confidence from the people who wanted to bring me to Tottenham, in this case, the coach. When we feel that confidence, being wanted somewhere, I think that's where we should be. I made this decision very easily, not only because it's the Premier League but also because I felt the desire from the other side to work with me. It was these opportunities that led me to demonstrate what I am capable of achieving. Therefore, I am very happy, very pleased with this new challenge in my life. I just want to enjoy the Premier League to the fullest and, in this space of the national team, make the most of every minute I have here."

João Palhinha joined Bayern in the summer of 2024, coming from Fulham, where he spent two seasons after leaving Sporting in 2022. The Bavarians paid close to 50 million euros to the Londoners but, despite the high investment, the midfielder started only ten games (out of a total of 25), being loaned to Tottenham this summer. In 2025/26, he has scored three goals in nine matches.
