Tottenham Hotspur appears to be planning key businesses in the upcoming winter transfer period, with one deal increasingly likely, turning Joao Palhinha’s loans into a permanent move.
Thomas Frank’s team signed with the former Bayern Munich midfielder in a loan move this summer, and the Portuguese midfielder has been impressed with the Spurs since his move from the Bundesliga, where he struggled with playing time.
In five Premier League matches this season, Parchinya scored one goal, but more than goal contributions, his ability to bring stability and add strength to the midfield was incredible for the North London club.
Tottenham has launched a meeting with Joan Palminha
According to TBR Football, Tottenham decided to hold talks over Parshinya’s permanent move during the January transfer period.
Since joining Spurs, Palhinha has been one of the more consistent performers in the middle.
Spurs believes Palhinha fits exactly what he needs. This is a militant, disciplined anchor in the middle, allowing you to own both defensive cover and intelligence.
Another major advantage of Tottenham is its relatively modest cost. The loan deal already includes the option to buy Palhinha for today’s transfer market bargain £26 million, especially when compared to prices in a similar profile.
Bayern Munich can sell straws
There is also a sense that Bayern Munich may be willing to hear the offer sooner than later. Pargigna’s playing time at Bayern is limited, and given the depth of competition there, the player’s preference may be to continue in a regular place where he is trusted.
Spurs is in a strong position, already benefiting from his presence, knowing how he fits into Frank’s system, and there are clear financial mechanisms (purchase options) that can be caused previously.
