Transfer rumours: Palhinha latest, Diaz to Sheffield United, Ngonge to Villa
The Portugal international has apparently emerged as a target for several top European clubs thanks to a string of impressive performances under Marco Silva and saw a summer move to Bayern Munich collapse at the last minute.
The German champions have been expected to reignite their interest in 2024, while Arsenal and Liverpool are also rumoured to have been lining up bids for the ex-Sporting Lisbon man.
However, Fulham have Palhinha under contract until 2028, having tied him down to an extension after his failed Bayern switch, and the Evening Standard reports that the Cottagers expect to keep hold of him over the winter.
While Fulham would supposedly be willing to entertain bids around £60m, interested parties believe that the West London club instead value him closer to the £100m mark, making a winter deal unfeasible.
Palhinha has six goals and one assist to boast from 60 matches in a Fulham shirt and made a whopping 147 tackles in the 2022-23 Premier League season, more than any other top-flight player.
Over at Bramall Lane, Sheffield United have reportedly reached a full agreement to sign Villarreal striker Ben Brereton Diaz on loan for the second half of the season.
The Blades are rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table with just nine points and 15 goals to their name, the latter being the worst attacking record in the division.
A new marksman has understandably been a priority on Chris Wilder's transfer wishlist, and according to Fabrizio Romano, a deal to bring Brereton Diaz back to England is nearing completion.
