Arsenal’s Concrete Approach for Palhinha

German football journalist Christian Falk has revealed that Arsenal have made a concrete approach for Bayern Munich’s defensive midfielder Joao Palhinha. The Portugal international, who previously impressed in the Premier League with Fulham, is now linked with a return to England after a challenging season in the Bundesliga.

Bayern’s Stance on Palhinha

According to Falk, Bayern Munich is open to selling Palhinha, with the price tag speculated to be around €25m to €30m. This move could also pave the way for Bayern to pursue other targets, such as Renato Veiga, as they aim to balance their financial books this summer.

Arsenal’s Midfield Dynamics

Despite already securing Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard, Arsenal’s interest in Palhinha raises questions about their midfield strategy. With last season’s injury woes, the Gunners might be looking to bolster their squad depth, though Palhinha’s desire for regular playing time could be a sticking point.
