Bayern Munich are hoping Tottenham Hotspur use their clause to sign Joao Palhinha permanently, as he’s not a part of their long-term plans.
That’s according to BILD, who cover reports from England today that Tottenham are already planning a permanent deal for the Bayern Munich loanee.
Palhinha joined Tottenham on loan in the summer after it was made clear he wasn’t part of Vincent Kompany’s plans following a miserable year in Munich after his move from Fulham.
He’s been a key player in Thomas Frank’s side since day one and several reports have already made it clear that Tottenham are planning a permanent deal for him. That has reportedly been made possible thanks to a purchase clause being included in the summer deal between the two clubs.
BILD now report that Bayern bosses hope that Tottenham are planning such a move and will exercise the clause option. Why? Because Palhinha no longer plays a role in the German champions’ plans.
It seems they’d be happy for him to move on and would welcome Tottenham using that clause. If not, there’s a deal there to be done for Palhinha to depart permanently either way.
