Deal includes option to make move permanent for £27m
Mikey Moore joins Rangers for the season from Spurs
Tottenham have agreed to sign João Palhinha on a season’s loan from Bayern Munich, with the deal for the Portugal midfielder including an option to make his move permanent for £27m.
It is understood that Spurs are set to pay a loan fee of £4.3m and will also cover the whole of Palhinha’s wages, with the 30-year-old expected to complete his medical in the coming days.
Tottenham had initially approached Bayern about a straight loan for Palhinha, who joined the German side from Fulham last summer in a deal worth up to £47.4m, as Thomas Frank looks to add extra options in central midfield. But it is understood that Bayern requested for the option to make the move permanent at the end of the season for €30m (£27m) be added during negotiations this week and that was accepted.
