According to Sky Germany, Tottenham will wait until the end of the season to make a final decision on midfielder Joao Parinha’s long-term departure.
The club currently has the option to make the Bayern Munich loanee a permanent transfer for €25 million, but Spurs are in no rush to make a deal as they continue to assess his impact, fitness and suitability within the squad.
Since arriving in North London, Parinha has brought experience, defensive strength and ball-winning aggression to a Tottenham midfield that needs more bite and structure.
His Premier League background, particularly his reputation as one of the league’s top tacklers, made him an attractive short-term solution for Spurs, who were looking for stability in midfield after a string of inconsistent performances.
Tottenham are being patient with Joao Parinha
However, the club is approaching the situation with caution. Spurs want to ensure Parinha fits in with the tactical evolution planned for next season as Thomas Frank oversees a long-term rebuild.
The 30-year-old’s age and physical style of play will also be weighed against the €25 million transfer fee and wage package required for a permanent transfer.
From Bayern’s point of view, the situation remains fluid. The German champions are expected to make significant changes to several positions this summer, with Parinha’s future in Munich equally uncertain.
Portugal star’s move could become permanent
It is thought that the Bundesliga side may sell him completely, but they intend to wait for Tottenham’s decision before deciding on his next transfer destination.
Parinha’s performance will play a big role in shaping the verdict on Tottenham.
If he continues to display a high level of consistency and can make an impact in Spurs’ midfield, the north London club may consider the €25m option to be a wise investment in terms of both quality and experience.
