The midfielder, who scored the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/2026\/may\/24\/tottenham-everton-premier-league-match-report\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">decisive goal against Everton<\/a> on Sunday as the club preserved their Premier League status, has been on a season\u2019s loan from Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Spurs have an option to make the deal permanent for \u20ac30m (\u00a326m), with the manager, Roberto De Zerbi, saying he \u201c100%\u201d wants it to happen. Palhinha has now indicated he would be open to it as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cSince the first day I arrived I feel at home,\u201d Palhinha said. \u201cFrom the supporters, the crowd. Top club. Who doesn\u2019t want to play for Tottenham and stay here? I have everything here. But this is like a marriage. What I can say to you is I would really like to be here and I enjoy it a lot this season with this club \u2013 even with it being a tough season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Spurs stayed up on the final day \u2013 two points clear of West Ham, who filled the final relegation spot \u2013 after making an SOS call to De Zerbi. His return of 11 points from seven games was enough. Palhinha is confident the club can learn from this wretched season and do much better next time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cI think the next season will hopefully be really different and I truly believe,\u201d the 30-year-old said. \u201cThis season will help Tottenham for the future. Analyse the season, what we did wrong, what we did well and it will be a big improvement and a big relief after the season.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jo\u00e3o Palhinha says he wants to stay at Tottenham.
