Palhinha heading to his old home? (Sport Bild via @iMiaSanMia) According to a report from Sport Bild journalists Christian Falk and Tobi Altschäffl. Fulham wants Bayern Munich midfielder João Palhinha back on its roster: Fulham owner Shahid Khan and coach Marco Silva would like to have João Palhinha back. Bayern are ready to sell the Portuguese midfielder if they get back close to the €51m they paid for him last summer.
West Ham are also interested. Bayern Munich is going to have a hard time getting its money for Palhinha, whether it is Fulham, West Ham, or anyone else. After a season spent struggling to acclimate and getting injured, Palhinha’s value cannot be — and should not be — what it was even last summer.
If Bayern Munich truly does not see Palhinha as a fit any longer, it might just need to cut its losses and take a lesser figure for him.

The Blaugrana will focus on reinforcing their defence following impressive form from their forward line, and the 29-year-old Germany international is at the top of their shortlist as a player that can be signed on a free transfer.
Just two months remain on Tah’s contract at the BayArena, with previous reports indicating that he plans to leave at the end of the Bundesliga season. Given Bayern Munich ’s injury situation at center-back, there are some fans clamoring for Tah, but the ill-will between the parties might be too much to overcome. It remains to be seen if the Bavarians will look to add a center-back this summer or if Josip Stanišić will be the solution for 2025/26.

Mainz 05 (Bundesliga) Silva to Benfica? (ESPN) Manchester City ’s Bernardo Silva could be leaving the club this summer, but will he end up with Benfica? Maybe: Benfica are working on bringing back two former academy stars, according to reports. First, they have contacted Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva to sound him out about a summer move, according to The Times. The 30-year-old made only three first-team appearances before leaving for AS Monaco, then moving onto City.
Benfica wouldn’t be able to afford the €50 million release clause in his contract. However, Silva’s deal expires in the summer of 2026, so Benfica hope a lower transfer fee could be agreed. Meanwhile, Benfica are also working on convincing João Félix to return ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup, Record reports.
The Portuguese forward joined AC Milan on loan from Chelsea in the winter transfer window but has failed to impress. The Portuguese outfit twice tried to sign Felix, who has a contract with Chelsea until June 2031, in recent transfer windows without success.

Hoeneß sees little chance for 1860 to get back to top level (kicker via @iMiaSanMia) When asked about the potential of 1860 Munich returning to Germany’s top flight at some point after once saying that he would lead the brass band when the club moved out of the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich legend Uli Hoeneß said he did not see much chance of the rivalry being renewed. “I’ve always said that the city of Munich can handle two Bundesliga teams. You don’t have to be an 1860 fan to respect them.
But I see little chance of them getting back up there and establishing themselves again. In my opinion, moving out of the Allianz Arena was a mistake by them and there’s no way back for them now. No 1860 fan would go to a red stadium.
