“It’s a dream come true for me and I’m very proud of that,” said Palhinha. “I’m looking forward to the atmosphere and the fans at Allianz Arena. I want to win titles. I will give everything to achieve that. This is one of the happiest days of my life.”
The signing of the Portuguese midfielder is a big boost for Bayern Munich as they continue to strengthen their squad. Palhinha’s arrival follows Michael Olise who joined the Bavarian giants a few days ago.
Palhinha’s addition to the squad is expected to increase Bayern’s midfield options, providing depth and quality. Bayern Munich have been active in the transfer market this summer, with Joao Palhinha being one of their key signings. The club remains focused on assembling a squad capable of competing at the highest levels, after failing to win silverware last term.
