Talks between João Palhinha and Sporting CP about a return to Lisbon are progressing well. The main issue is agreeing with FC Bayern on the structure of the move, either a loan deal with an option to buy or a permanent transfer. Tottenham have a €30m option to buy, which adds a reference point for negotiations. Sporting CP’s discussions depend on how Bayern wants to handle the deal. Roberto De Zerbi wants to keep Palhinha, while Palhinha’s preference is to return to Portugal.
