Bayern Munich executive hints at Palhinha approach
Bayern Munich's chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen has admitted that a move for Fulham's Portuguese midfielder Palhinha could be back on, after a deal collapsed for the player last summer. Palhinha has been one of the Cottagers' best players
Dreesen is a huge fan of Palhinha, and personally contacted the player's representatives in order to try and tempt the Fulham star to make a move.
Now, Dreesen admits that a January move is not completely out of the question. He told reporters: "Sometimes you see each other more than twice in life. You should never rule anything out."
Before continuing, "Our focus is currently on the right-back position."
Bayern Munich may need to pay as much as 75 million to force Fulham into a sale, as Palhinha, whilst keen on a move to Germany, has a long-term contract at Craven Cottage. Manager Marco Silva also intends to keep his star player around for as long as is possible.
