Tottenham Hotspur to Loan Bayern's Joao Palhinha for 2025-26 Season
Joao Palhinha, a soccer player for Bayern Munich, is likely to join Tottenham Hotspur on loan.
This means he'll play for Tottenham for a year, starting in 2025.
Tottenham has the option to buy him permanently, but doesn't have to.
Palhinha hasn't been playing regularly at Bayern, and a move to Tottenham could give him more playing time.
This is not the first time the two clubs have done a loan deal, as another player, Mathys Tel, also joined on loan and then permanently.
Tottenham Hotspur is close to signing Joao Palhinha from Bayern Munich on a loan deal.
The loan deal will run for the 2025-26 season.
Bayern Munich includes an option for Tottenham to buy Palhinha, but it is not an obligation.
Palhinha has struggled for consistent game time at Bayern Munich.
This is the second recent loan deal between the clubs.
