The 30-year-old is expected to leave Bayern in summer and could become a permanent fixture at Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham Hotspur are reported to be happy with Bayern Munich loanee João Palhinha, according to Sky Germany.
The relegation-threatened London club can imagine triggering the option to buy, but they ideally want to renegotiate with the Bavarians.
What was originally agreed was option to buy set at €25million, with potential add-ons that could raise the fee to up to €30million.
However, if the recently crowned Bundesliga champions choose not to lower the price, Spurs are unlikely to purchase the midfielder.
A final decision regarding the Portuguese international's future is expected to be clarified at the end of the current season.
Bayern are open to a sale and reportedly see no future for the 30-year-old at the club despite his contract remaining valid until 2028.
