Liverpool, led by Jurgen Klopp, are still interested in hiring Joao Palhinha, a 28-year-old international from Portugal who is worth £70 million.
Anfield Watch claims that Liverpool is still interested in adding Joao Palhinha to their team. They continued to be interested in the services of the Portuguese international despite having expressed interest in the 28-year-old Fulham midfielder in the summer. The player is worth almost £70 million to Fulham.
Up to the transfer window’s conclusion, Palhinha was the talk of the town. He attracted a lot of attention with his outstanding efforts for the Cottagers in the Premier League. Some of the top clubs in Europe are interested in signing him.
Bayern Munich came really close to hiring him. In Germany, the player was prepared to make his move. The transaction fell through because Fulham was unable to locate a substitute in time. Palhinha chose to remain with the English club, and a few weeks after the transfer window closed, he signed a new contract with the Cottagers.
There is no release clause in Palhinha’s new contract, which is now valid until the summer of 2028. Fulham is now free to seek a premium price, such as £70 million. Liverpool is still considering hiring him, for the time being.
Bayern has not moved since the deadline-day transaction fell through. The Merseyside club has now been informed that the 28-year-old might be available for signing. During the summer, when Liverpool was looking to do a thorough renovation, Jurgen Klopp had him on his radar.
They wanted to sign Moises Caicedo or Romeo Lavia first, though. However, Liverpool was unable to sign any of them to the team. Despite the fact that they recently signed 30-year-old Wataru Endo, Alexis Mac Allister is now serving as the team’s holding midfielder.
The current state of affairs makes it abundantly evident that the Reds must a new number six urgently in order to advance matters. Because of his performances for Fulham in the English Premier League, they believe Palhinha would be a wonderful fit for the team.
The 28-year-old’s contract does not have a release clause, but according to the report, the Cottagers might agree to let him go for a cost of almost £70 million. Liverpool has already budgeted £60 million for the upcoming winter window. Additionally, they can make a push for his hiring by releasing one or two players.
