Bayern Munich, Joao Palhinha, Aston Villa and Newcastle United
Sunday
Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl says the club could accept a loan deal for Joao Palhinha if the financial package is strong enough. His comments clarify Bayern’s position after Aston Villa failed to reach an agreement for the Portugal midfielder.
Eberl said any move must work for Bayern, Palhinha and the buying club, leaving several structures possible rather than requiring an outright sale. Newcastle have now emerged as another interested Premier League club as Bayern seek a suitable exit.
