Official: Bayern bought the Portuguese star.

Finally, one year later, 28-year-old Palinha became a Bayern Munich player.

The valuable Portuguese midfielder went as far as Bayern last summer and even appeared for medical tests in Munich, but in the end his transfer was rejected. Palinha returned to Fulham and extended his contract with the club, but since then it has been said that Bayern will try to sign him again this summer.

Bayern's last offer to Fulham was 49.5 million euros, and an agreement was reached for 50 + 5 million euros, and his contract will last until 2028.

"This is one of the happiest days of my life," Palinha said in his first comments after his move to Bayern. I'm now playing for one of the top clubs in Europe, it's a dream for me and I'm very proud of it. I look forward to training with my new teammates. I want to celebrate many successes at Bayern with the fans at the Allianz Arena. I want to win championships and I will give everything to achieve it.

Bayern's sporting director Max Eberl said of the transfer: "Palinia was of great interest to us last summer. He is an important cornerstone for our future projects. Palinha once again showed his strengths on a big world stage at the European Championships and brings a lot of experience with him. He has played in Euro 2024, the World Cup and around 300 competitive matches in the Portuguese and English leagues. Joao will give us more stability in midfield.

Christoph Freund, the president of Bayern, also said: "We insisted on recruiting Palinia since last summer and now we finally have him by our side. He will be a very valuable player for Bayern. Joao is strong in duels and air battles. He can make the team structure more powerful. He is also an absolute leader in midfield.
