But Bayern refused to budge on the price and insisted on the \u20ac30m option to buy, which led to Spurs abandoning the idea. That looks to have backfired right now because while the interested parties from Portugal, Benfica and Sporting, are keen on Palhinha, they can\u2019t afford the asking price and want a loan deal instead \u2013 which Bayern want to avoid. Bayern\u2019s hopes currently hinge on Aston Villa, who have expressed interest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">However, it\u2019s possible the club will have to significantly lower their asking price or end up agreeing to a loan. Otherwise, they risk not finding a buyer at all and being stuck with the player. Palhinha has no role to play under Vincent Kompany, the coach does not have him in his plans. The midfielder reported back to pre-season yesterday, waiting to find a solution in the meantime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi was a big fan of Jo\u00e3o Palhinha and wanted to sign him permanently.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":817821,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[43989,49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-817820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-bayern-munich-transfer-news-and-rumors","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/817820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=817820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/817820\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/817821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=817820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=817820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=817820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
