Bayern’s João Palhinha Emerges on Newcastle Shortlist

A reported near-€93m move for Bruno Guimarães has prompted Newcastle to consider an experienced midfielder and Bayern have publicly signalled they are open to selling Palhinha.

Overview

  • Bayern sporting director Max Eberl has said Palhinha is among players the club is willing to move on as part of a squad reshaping.
  • ESPN reports Palhinha is on Newcastle’s shortlist to replace Bruno Guimarães after media said Arsenal’s offer for Guimarães is about €93 million.
  • German outlets put Bayern’s asking price for Palhinha between €20 million and €25 million, but those figures vary across reports.
  • Sources say there have been no formal negotiations yet between Newcastle, Bayern or Palhinha’s representatives.
  • Palhinha, under contract with Bayern until 2028 and returning from a season-long loan at Tottenham, has publicly said he wants to stay despite limited playing prospects under coach Vincent Kompany.
