Joao Parinha was on loan at Tottenham Hotspur last season, but the player has been linked with Sporting CP in recent weeks.
Tottenham have the option to sign the player on a permanent contract at the end of his loan contract, but that clause has not yet been triggered. Naturally, there are rumors about his future, with rumors of a return to his former club. He has no future at Bayern Munich and the German champions will likely consider selling him on a permanent basis this summer.
According to a report in Portuguese publication O Jogo (h/t SportWitness), the 30-year-old midfielder looks set to “slip through the fingers of Sporting CP”, increasing the possibility of a permanent move to Tottenham.
They need more quality and depth in the middle of the park and the Portuguese star could be ideal for them. He has performed very well on loan at Tottenham and could be a very useful option for Roberto De Zerbi.
Tottenham need more defensive ability and physicality in the center of the park. It would be a wise decision to keep him at the club. He is well established in the team and will be able to pick up where he left off last season.
The player probably wants to decide on his future as soon as possible and concentrate on his soccer. He has enjoyed his time at the London club and a permanent move to them would be an attractive option for him.
It remains to be seen how the situation will develop. Tottenham have so far succeeded in strengthening their defense, but they need to further improve the quality of their midfield and attack.
