Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing the Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha during the summer transfer window.
Joao Palhinha is valued at £30 million, but Tottenham are looking to sign him for £20 million, as per a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football. Spurs believe that agreeing on personal terms with the Bayern Munich misfit will not be difficult for them. It will be interesting to see if they can convince the Bundesliga champions to sell the player for a reduced fee.
The Portuguese international has not been able to live up to expectations at Bayern Munich, and the German giants are unlikely to stand in his way if a suitable offer comes in. Meanwhile, the player will look to get his career back on track with regular football as well, and moving back to the Premier League will be ideal for him.
The 30-year-old enjoyed his time at Fulham and played some of his best football in England. Returning to the Premier League could help Palhinha recapture his form and confidence. Tottenham are a top team, and they recently managed to win a European trophy. They will be an attractive destination for the midfielder. He has the quality and experience to do well for them.
Spurs need more depth in midfield
Spurs will be competing in the UEFA Champions League next season, and they will need a deeper squad with more quality. Signing the experienced Portuguese international could prove to be a wise decision. Palhinha is available for a reasonable amount of money this summer, and he could prove to be a quality addition in the short term.
Tottenham need to improve multiple areas of their squad, and they cannot afford to pass up on potential bargains. The Portuguese international could prove to be a bargain for them this summer. It remains to be seen whether they can convince the German champions to accept £20 million for him after slapping a £30 million price tag on him.
Tottenham finished in the bottom half of the Premier League table last season, and they will look to bounce back strongly. The North Londoners have brought in a quality manager, and they will need to back him with quality signings during the transfer window.
