Liverpool is reportedly expressing strong interest in Joao Palhinha from Fulham, a development that could complicate Bayern Munich’s pursuit of the Portuguese international.
Should Liverpool officially enter the competition for Palhinha’s signature, Bayern might reassess their interest, particularly considering their current financial limitations and their prioritization of signing a center-back during the winter transfer window.
In the event that Palhinha becomes unavailable, Bayern has identified an alternative target in Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad.
However, Zubimendi comes with a hefty release clause of £51.6 million.
It’s worth noting that the two midfielders, Palhinha and Zubimendi, offer contrasting playing styles.
Palhinha is known for his defensive prowess, excelling in areas such as tackles, interceptions, and blocks.
On the other hand, Zubimendi brings a different skill set to the table, and Bayern would need to weigh their options carefully before making a decision.
