Joao Palhinha has been linked to Juventus. According to the Portuguese newspaper A Bola, his future in Bavaria is uncertain and he could arrive on a paid loan, as was the case last summer.

Juventus is reportedly among the most interested clubs in João Palhinha. However, the club is currently facing UEFA-imposed restrictions and is looking for players who are younger and more economically accessible. It has been suggested that Milan is also interested, while a potential move to Sporting was previously ruled out due to Bayern Munich's €25 million asking price.
