Aston Villa have expressed an interest in João Palhinha, the midfielder currently with FC Bayern. Reports suggest that the player is open to the possibility of transferring to England. It appears that under the management of coach Vincent Kompany at Bayern, Palhinha's future is uncertain, as he has only participated in 45 minutes of play during the Club World Cup. Despite being under contract until 2028, Brighton & Hove Albion, as well as his former club FC Fulham and West Ham United, are reportedly keen on bringing him back to the Premier League. Palhinha, who was acquired for 50 million euros last year, is also reportedly open to a potential move to Spain.
