Bayern Munich intend to sign Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha.

The Portugal international saw a move to Bayern collapse on deadline day, despite passing a medical.

Palhinha would later pen a new deal with Fulham to 2028.

But Bayern remain keen and now it's emerged they intend to sign the midfielder in the New Year.

That's according to Portuguese reporter Pedro Almeida, who states: "João Palhinha will be a Bayern Munich player in January."
