Bayern Munich passed on the opportunity to sign PSG midfielder Joao Neves in favour of Joao Palhinha
Briefly

Since Thomas Tuchel took over, Bayern Munich aggressively pursued João Palhinha from Fulham, ultimately securing his transfer but at the cost of missing out on João Neves. Despite an earlier transfer collapse, the club's focus on Palhinha, as advocated by the former chief scout, led to disregarding Neves when he was available. Neves subsequently joined PSG for a similar fee, and his rapid rise as a top talent has left Bayern questioning their decision as Palhinha faces uncertain future.
Despite a collapsed summer transfer in 2023, Bayern Munich eventually signed João Palhinha, but may regret this in light of missing out on João Neves.
Bayern were fixated on signing Palhinha post-failure of his transfer, which led them to pass on João Neves, who is flourishing at PSG.
