João Palinha succeeded in transferring to Bayern Munich. It's Palinha who can wear the Bayern uniform properly in a year.
Reporter Florian Flettenberg, who is active in Sky Sports in Germany and is familiar with the news inside Germany, said on his personal SNS on the 3rd (Korea time), "Faligna will move to Bayern." Almost everything is done. Currently, between Bayern and Fulham, we only have to coordinate really small details,' he reported.
Right away, European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano's HERE WE GO appeared. Reporter Romano puts 'HERE WE GO' only when the transfer is made. Journalist Romano says "Faligna goes to Bavaria. The transaction was approved for 50 million euros (about 74.5 billion won) and 5 million euros (about 7.5 billion won) as a bonus clause."

"Faligna will sign Bayern until 2028." Palinha has been trying for the past few weeks to get the transfer done. Medical tests have also been booked. I'll sign it when I'm done," he added.
Bayern's rebuilding of the transfer market is underway. In this summer's transfer window, Bayern are preparing to rebuild across all positions from the back to the front. First of all, Hiroki Ito, who can play center back and left back, was recruited.
Bayern is also negotiating to recruit Jonathan Ta, the first German Bundesliga winner in Bayer Leverkusen's history last season. Bayern are currently very confident in recruiting. If other recruitments are completed, Matthijs de Ligt is likely to leave unconditionally.

The next effort he made was a defensive midfielder. Beginning a year ago, Bayern attempted to sell Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka. Former Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel has called for a new midfielder, insisting the two players are not as good as they used to be. Bayern came to the same conclusion and put Kimihi and Goretzka on the market.
At this time, the recruited player was sold. It was Palinha who succeeded in transferring to Bayern while performing well at Fulham. Palinha flew all the way to Munich, Germany, completing all steps for Bayern's transfer and waiting for Fulham's final decision.

Fulham intended to cancel the transfer if they could not find a replacement for Palinha in the transfer window. In the end, Fulham failed to recruit a replacement and returned to London, England, with a gloomy look on their face. There may be some regrets about Fulham, but whether they sell or not surprised everyone by signing a five-year contract with Fulham.
Palinha also showed good performance as the mainstay of Fulham in the 2023-2024 season. Palinha is a player of the same style as Nemanja Matic, who played for Chelsea and Manchester United in the past. Based on the physical, he has a good opinion of taking control of the midfield and is a player who can protect the defense. Palinha has a very good ability in tackles and one-on-one defense using his long legs.

From the 2022-2023 season, Palinha is the player who has made the most tackles in the English Premier League (EPL). It's overwhelming when you look at the tackle statistics. In the 2022-2023 season, he made 148 tackles. Considering that No. 2 Moises Caicedo has 100 times, you can see how outstanding Palinha's tackle level is.
In the 2023-2024 season, it was also up to Palinha to be the EPL tackle king. It easily surpassed the 128th inning of Joao Gomez (Wolverhampton), who ranked second in tackles with 152 success. Palinha also has a high pass ability required of defensive midfielders in modern soccer.

Bayern also tried to recruit Palinha as its top target for defensive midfielders in the transfer market this summer. Bayern agreed to a deal with Fulham on the condition that 50 million euros plus a 5 million euro bonus clause after a tug-of-war on transfer fees. A final announcement is expected after the Euro as Palinha is in the process of playing Euro 2024 as Portugal's international.
Palinha's addition is also expected to be a great help to Kim Min-jae. Kimihi and Koretska's midfield duo were not a good combination to protect the defense. What Tuchel pointed out was that the defense's primary protection was not possible.

As a result, players such as Kim Min-jae and Dayo Upamecano had too much burden defensively. In the first half, the players showed good performance by changing their physical strength, but in the second half, mistakes began to come out as their physical strength declined.
Then, in the end, Tuchel used Kimmich as a right-back and put Konrad Reimer in the midfield, who could protect the defense. He also used Eric Dier and De Licht while lowering the defensive line overall.
Kompany was more aggressive than Tuchel, so a midfielder who could protect the defense was essential. Palinha is an excellent player in the role of primarily protecting the centerback duo, so he is expected to show a very good match with Kim Min-jae.
