Bayern Munich has successfully secured the signing of midfielder João Palhinha from Premier League club Fulham. The 28-year-old's transfer to Bayern had almost materialized last summer but fell through on deadline day. Despite signing a contract extension with Fulham until 2028 shortly after, Bayern persisted in their pursuit of the player and have now finalized the deal for an undisclosed number of years.
Palhinha, who featured in 39 matches across all competitions for Fulham last season, has established himself as one of the top defensive midfielders in the Premier League since joining the club from Sporting CP in 2022. His contributions on the field have been instrumental in Fulham's successful campaigns, resulting in 10th and 13th place finishes in the league in the past two seasons.
