"The Portuguese midfielder left Bayern to join Tottenham Hotspur on a season-long loan. The Premier League side also has an option to sign Palhinha for €30 million. Considering the way Palhinha started the season, it looked certain that Spurs would sign him permanently. However, things have changed completely midway through the season. According to Talksport journalist Alex Crook (via iMiaSanMia), Tottenham Hotspur are having second thoughts about signing Palhinha in the summer. As things stand, the Portuguese midfielder is expected to be back at Bayern at the end of the season."
"Palhinha has had a lot of game time for Spurs this season. After struggling to get on the pitch in Munich last season, Palhinha has made 29 appearances across all competitions. He has accumulated in excess of 1800 minutes this campaign. Spurs have struggled under Thomas Frank, and Palhinha's form has also dipped as the season has progressed. Meanwhile, Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg is reporting that Spurs are yet to decide on Palhinha's future. The English club will make a final decision at the end of the season."
Bayern Munich trimmed the squad last summer to balance the books and create space for new signings, bringing in Tom Bischof from Hoffenheim on a free transfer. Bischof's arrival enabled Bayern to loan Joao Palhinha to Tottenham Hotspur with a season-long deal and an option to buy reported around €25–30 million. Palhinha has made 29 appearances and logged over 1800 minutes for Spurs, but his form has dipped while Tottenham have struggled under Thomas Frank. Tottenham remain undecided and will decide at season's end; Bayern will listen to permanent offers if Spurs decline.
