Bayern Munich have agreed to sign the Fulham midfielder João Palhinha in a deal worth up to €56m (£47.4m). Palhinha almost moved to the Allianz Arena last year, only for the deal to break down on the final day of the transfer window.
Bayern’s interest has not gone away and they are set to pay an initial €51m plus €5m in add-ons for the Portugal international, who has been waiting for approval to move to the Bundesliga club. The sale will be a club record for Fulham, who will need to use the funds to bolster their midfield.
