Bayern Munich are on the verge of signing Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha this summer. The Portuguese midfielder doesn't have a clear future at Craven Cottage and is looking for a move elsewhere.

According to the reports from Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich are extremely optimistic about signing Palhinha. There will be a new round of talks between the two club's representatives today, which will seal the deal for the Portuguese midfielder. It is reported that it is only a matter of time before this deal is completed. The only reason for the delay is Fulham finding a replacement for him. Once they sign the midfielder, the deal for Palhinha will be wrapped up.

Palhinha is a crowd favorite at Craven Cottage. Last weekend, he came off the bench against Arsenal to score the equalizer for ten-men Fulham. It is a crucial point for Fulham's survival in the Premier League, considering they are set to lose their evergreen star.

On the other hand, Bayern Munich will also get a reasonable midfielder. They have strengthened their defense and attack this summer with the signings of Kim Min-jae and Harry Kane, respectively. However, manager Thomas Tuchel is concerned with his midfield. Joshua Kimmich is arguably the only reliable midfielder in the Bayern Munich squad, but he has struggled with injuries.

The weaknesses were seen in the DFL Cup final against RB Leipzig, where the Bavarians convincingly lost 3-0. Hence, adding Palhinha will be a huge boost to his Bundesliga defense and Champions League hopes. Bayern Munich have drawn Manchester United in their Champions League draw, which means that Palhinha could be returning to England after securing his move.
