Joao Palinha is gone now tottenham His subsequent loan spell, and the Spurs spell, has helped his reputation.
In the 2025/26 campaign, the Portuguese faced criticism at times for his weaknesses on the ball. However, he played a key role in the club's fight against relegation, scoring the only goal in a big win over Wolves and then scoring against Everton in the last game of the season.
This forced him to leave the club at a high level. Despite this, Tottenham did not attempt to sign him on a permanent basis, instead spending big on Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes.
Now, Pelhinha could be heading to Italy as he is out of Bayern Munich's plans.
Juventus and Milan's interest
alljuve Note that the midfielder's time at Tottenham has served him well. Juventus and AC Milan have been monitoring his progress and they see him as an attractive player in their midfield.
The outlet does not expect him to be a key part of the Bayern team and thinks he will leave in the summer.
Milan and Juve feel that he will add great strength to their midfield and his experience will come in handy.
The Rossoneri, led by Ruben Amorim, are particularly monitoring him and determining potential signings.
Player must wait for options
Tottenham's spell showed some of Palinha's weaknesses. He struggled in possession when helping his team from the back but became a key asset during set-pieces.
Both Amorim and Luciano Spalletti generally prefer players who remain in possession. This suggests that the 30-year-old may not be first choice at Milan or Juve.
As a result, he may wait to take a final decision. Sporting CP has been linked and could have a big role on his return home.
