Bayern Munich is optimistic that Aston Villa will make a move for midfielder Joao Palhinha during the summer transfer window. Palhinha returned to Bayern after a loan spell at Tottenham Hotspur, which opted against a permanent transfer. He has not been included in Bayern's 2026-27 first-team squad, signaling a lack of future at the club.
