Palhinha nearly completed moved to Bayern Munich on deadline day but the move fell through
Joao Palhinha has signed a new contract with Fulham despite nearly completing a transfer to Bayern Munich on deadline day.
The 28-year-old started the season brightly with the Whites before Bayern registered an interest in his services late in the window.
He was expected to join the German champions having completed a medical and been paraded around the club’s training ground, but Fulham pulled the plug on the deal due to not having enough time to bring in a suitable replacement.
The midfielder has now surprisingly signed a new contract at Craven Cottage, tying him down to 2028 with the option for a further year.
“The Club is delighted to announce that Joao Palhinha has signed a contract extension with Fulham,” Fulham said in a statement.
