Liverpool have been connected with Portuguese international Joao Palhinha for some time, and the Fulham player is back in the spotlight.
We reported in March, through The Mail, that the Reds are interested in luring the Seleccao playmaker.
According to recent media sources, Liverpool has pressed for the signing of Palhinha but may not be able to complete the deal.
According to today’s edition of Sport (news image supplied below), the 27-year-old player had a fantastic debut season in England, which was recognized by Premier League clubs.
According to a well-known Spanish news outlet, Liverpool and Manchester United have both expressed interest in the former Sporting CP holding midfielder.
However, the Cottagers are reportedly unwilling to sell their prized asset to an English team. Bayern Munich is also interested in Palhinha, although he is not a top priority for them.
According to Catalan media, the 20-cap international’s current market worth is approximately 35 million euros, but Fulham are looking for a sum close to 50 million euros (£42.8m) and are open to consider exchange bids.
He appeared in three FIFA World Cup matches last year and has been nominated to Portugal’s team for the forthcoming Euro 2024 qualification matches.
Palhinha won several domestic titles with Sporting CP before transferring to London, and he was an important player of the Fulham club that finished 10th in the just ended Premier League season.
Should Liverpool press hard and pay £42.8m for the defensive midfielder, in your opinion?
