Joao Parinha was on loan at Tottenham Hotspur last season and was a hugely impressive player for them.
The Portugal international is an important player for the North London outfit and Tottenham could look to him permanently. According to Florian Plettenberg, the player is also a target of Sporting CP.
Negotiations are currently ongoing with both clubs, with Sky Germany claiming there is a good chance that Tottenham could reach a deal. They have the option to sign the player for around 30 million euros including bonuses, but Tottenham would like to sign him for a more reasonable fee.
It remains to be seen whether they can convince Bayern Munich to lower their demands.
Plettenberg writes of X:João Parinha hopes to make a decision about his future soon. There are currently two concrete options: Tottenham and Sporting CP. Negotiations continue. Tottenham have a good chance at the moment. However, it has become clear that Spurs want to renegotiate negotiations with FC Bayern. The buyout option has been set at a deposit of 25 million euros, with an option to increase the fee to up to 30 million euros. Tottenham want to pay less.”
The Portugal international has no future with the German club and will aim to leave the club permanently. Joining Tottenham would be ideal for him. He enjoyed playing football with them last season and wants to sort out the transfer and focus on his football again.
At this stage of his career, playing regular football in the Premier League would be ideal for him.
Meanwhile, his former club Sporting CP is also monitoring the situation. It will be interesting to see if they are ready to accept the demands of the German champions.
Bayern will likely sell the player and try to recoup as much as possible from his departure. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Parinha has the quality and experience to play in the first team and could be an asset for both clubs next season.
