Bayern want to sign PalhinhaDeal collapsed last summerGerman side made new offerWHAT HAPPENED?
The Portuguese midfielder has spent two seasons at Craven Cottage and has long been chased by Bayern. The Bavarian side believe Palhinha is the ideal signing to add a bit of steel to transform their midfield in their quest to wrestle back the Bundesliga title from Bayer Leverkusen. The 28-year-old has made it no secret that he wishes to make the switch too following news of a €45 million (£38m/$48m) bid.

Speaking before Portugal's clash with Slovenia in the European Championships round of 16, Palhinha was asked about his future at Fulham. He said simply: "As far as my future is concerned, both clubs know where I want to be in a month."
DID YOU KNOW?
Palhinha was close to securing the move he wants last summer and even completed a medical in Germany, but the clubs could not agree on a fee and the deal collapsed. After the failed transfer, Palhinha signed a new deal in west London but, less than a year later, wants to move on again.
