Tottenham yet to decide whether to activate €30m summer option; Bayern move ruled out

The same report adds that the midfielder’s Bayern Munich chapter is effectively over, regardless of Tottenham’s decision. If Spurs do not activate the option, the Bundesliga giants will seek to sell him elsewhere in the summer. Everything now hinges on what the Lilywhites decide as the turn of the year approaches. For Tottenham, activating Palhinha’s purchase option seems like a logical move. The holding midfielder has already proven he is more than capable of anchoring a Premier League midfield on his own. He fits seamlessly into Thomas Frank’s setup at N17, and it is clear he is thriving in his role as an advanced No.6 this season. If Spurs do not secure him permanently, another club surely will. All eyes will now be on how Joao Palhinha’s future unfolds. Fans will hope the Portuguese international stays focused amid the growing speculation and continues delivering high-level performances for the Lilywhites. Spurs currently sit fifth in the Premier League, and the 30-year-old will be crucial in their push to close the gap on their rivals during the second half of the campaign.
