Aston Villa have listed João Palhinha among their potential midfield acquisitions as they prepare for the summer transfer period. There have been no formal discussions or bids from Aston Villa to Bayern Munich, with the Portuguese player being one of several candidates under consideration by the Premier League side.
Softfootball has earlier mentioned that Palhinha was likely to depart Tottenham Hotspur despite wanting to stay at the North London team. His anticipated exit is attributed to Spurs’ substantial investment in their midfield, which includes a record signing of £85 million for Mateus Fernandes from West Ham United and the addition of Sandro Tonali, making it less likely for him to secure a long-term position.
Aston Villa appreciates the experience, defensive skills, and ball-winning qualities of the Portugal international, considering him a potential asset for increasing strength and leadership in their midfield. Nevertheless, the team has yet to determine whether to make an official bid as they continue to review various options before the transfer window opens.
