Portugal coach Roberto Martinez said he has no doubt that Bayern Munich will be stronger with his student Joao Palhinha.

The defensive midfielder was close to joining Bayern Munich last summer, and was even filmed holding a Gray Tigers shirt before his transfer.

However, the deal later fell through and Palhinha left Munich airport with a dejected look on her face. Fortunately, he calmed down and had a good season with Fulham. This player appeared 33 times for Fulham in the Premier League last season, scoring 4 goals and providing 1 assist.

Currently, Bayern still hopes to recruit the 28-year-old player. They quickly contacted and negotiated with the hope of getting his signature. The Portuguese player made no secret of his desire to move to Bayern after a year of missed appointments.

In early June, Bayern offered 38 million pounds to buy Palhinha. However, these offers were quickly rejected with Fulham demanding a fee of £60 million.

However, Bayern is hoping to convince its partners with a more “affordable” price, but it won’t be easy because Palhinha is shining at EURO 2024. This player played well in the match between Portugal and Slovenia in round of 1/8 of EURO 2024, a match that “Brazil of Europe” won in the penalty shootout.

When asked about Palhinha’s impressive performance, coach Martinez answered decisively: “I have to admit that I really like Joao Palhinha’s performance. I think his performance was essential in this type of match. Slovenia counterattacked very quickly. The speed of Benjamin Sesko and Andraz Sporar was too good, but Palhinha had many excellent plays.

He is not only suitable but will enhance Bayern. I think Palhinh is someone who makes the players around him better. Palhinha is at the best moment of his career and he can help every team become better.”
