Bayern Munich considers loan options for João Palhinha amid transfer standstill
Summary

Bayern Munich may need to loan João Palhinha this summer after rejecting Tottenham's interest due to a €30 million asking price. With both Benfica and Sporting Lisbon unable to meet the transfer fee, they are pursuing a loan deal instead. Bayern's position is complicated by the absence of a clear role for Palhinha under head coach Vincent Kompany. The club may need to lower their asking price to secure a move or risk keeping him without game time. Palhinha has returned to pre-season training, awaiting a resolution to his situation.
