Transfer: Bayern’s move for Palhinha collapses despite £47m agreement with Fulham

Joao Palhinha’s proposed move from Fulham to Bayern Munich has fallen through, despite both clubs agreeing a transfer fee.

The Bundesliga champion submitted an initial offer of £47milliion, though this was subsequently rejected by the London club – who priced him at £90m initially.

The collapsed as the Premier League club were unable to find a replacement in time.

This was not helped by the German window closing earlier than the English one.

Earlier in the window, Fulham made enquiries into Manchester United’s Scott McTominay as a replacement, though the deal has now fallen through.

The Cottagers wanted £70m for the Portuguese midfielder, after rejected an initial £47m bid from the German giants.
