Bayern drop interest on Palhinha

Bayern Munich has currently dismissed the possibility of pursuing a deal to sign Joao Palhinha from Fulham, according to Sky Sports.

The decision comes in the wake of an injury to Konrad Laimer, prompting Bayern to shift their focus towards acquiring another centre-back and right-back instead. In this context, Eric Dier has emerged as the preferred target at centre-back for Bayern, offering versatility by also being able to play in defensive-midfield positions. While Bayern has had a longstanding interest in Palhinha dating back to the summer, where a potential deal was on the verge of completion, the club is expected to keep monitoring the player, with potential plans for a move in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Meanwhile, Fulham is actively considering a deal for Fluminense star Andre as a replacement, contingent upon Palhinha's departure.
