Manchester City are planning a £50m swoop for Fulham ace João Palhinha in January

Manchester City is intensifying their pursuit of midfield reinforcements ahead of the January transfer window, eyeing a substantial £50 million move for Fulham‘s talented midfielder, João Palhinha. The Premier League giants are poised to make a significant bid to secure the services of the Portuguese maestro, a target previously linked with Bayern Munich.

Manchester City, under Pep Guardiola‘s guidance, is poised to launch a substantial £50 million bid for the 28-year-old midfielder, emphasizing the urgency to strengthen their midfield options. The Portuguese maestro, whose potential move to Bayern Munich fell through last summer, has garnered attention for his commanding presence in midfield, making him a valuable asset for clubs seeking midfield reinforcements.

City’s pursuit of João Palhinha underscores their determination to secure a robust presence in the midfield. However, the finalization of the deal remains contingent on negotiations and Fulham’s willingness to part ways with their influential midfielder.
