According to a report from Bild (via @iMiaSanMia), the full details of what exactly Tottenham Hotspur will pay for João Palhinha’s have been revealed. It is a deal that is very advantageous for Bayern Munich, especially as the club seeks to lower its salary budget:
João Palhinha’s exact Bayern salary, to be paid in full by Tottenham, is worth €8.1m fixed, rising to €8.6m through performance based add-ons. There are also title bonuses that could increase it to around €10m gross per year in total.
This is a deal that works equally well for Bayern Munich, Palhinha, and Tottenham Hotspur. The best case scenario is that the Portuguese midfielder goes to London, gets an opportunity to play, takes advantage of it, and the three parties work together on a full transfer at this time next year.
