Bayern are unwilling to meet Fulham's asking price as they deem the demands to be too expensive. As a result, there has been no inquiry or offer from the German club. The Cottagers have an upper hand in this deal as Palhinha agreed to a bumper new contract in the summer which lasts until 2028.

The Palhinha transfer might be another long-drawn saga of the winter as the player is eager to leave Craven Cottage at the earliest. Bayern manager, Thomas Tuchel, remains on the same page and is eager to acquire a holding midfielder to add steel at the centre of the park. The 28-year-old is a key figure for Fulham having already made 20 appearances this season across all competitions with two goals and one assist to his name.
