Attention, Sporting! João Palhinha wants to sign, request made | OneFootball

João Palhinha wants his future resolved as quickly as possible and has already made that intention clear to his representatives. The Portuguese midfielder remains one of Sporting’s main targets to succeed Morten Hjulmand, but the process is still blocked by Bayern Munich’s stance.

The Bavarian club’s decision-makers continue to demand at least €25 million to release the Portugal international, a figure that has made significant progress in the negotiations difficult. Even so, the player does not want the matter to drag on for much of the summer and is seeking clarity for the near future.

A return to Alvalade remains a scenario that appeals to Palhinha. The 30-year-old midfielder has never hidden his connection to Sporting and is open to the possibility of returning to the club where he spent a large part of his development. However, that is not the only option on the table.

Tottenham remain attentive to the situation and are still interested in securing the player’s stay after the season he had in the Premier League. The English club are considering the possibility of presenting a definitive solution to Bayern, competing directly with the Lions for the signing of the Portugal international.

The uncertainty surrounding Palhinha has led Sporting to safeguard alternative options for the deeper midfield role. While the Portugal international’s situation remains without decisive developments, Sporting’s board are also keeping a close eye on Sergi Altimira and are already working on other options in case neither of the two main targets arrives at Alvalade in this transfer window.
