Fulham are confident of keeping Joao Palhinha through to the end of the season.

The Premier League side are in a position where accepting a bid for Palhinha in the winter may damage their season.

Palhinha's £58 million move to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich fell apart on deadline day in the summer.

Per The Standard, even if Bayern were to come back with a similar offer, Fulham may stand firm.

Manager Marco Silva would loathe to lose an important midfielder at this stage of the campaign.

The Portuguese international did sign a contract extension until 2028 after his Bayern move fell apart.
