Tony Khan, Fulham vice-president recently revealed who are willing to take advantage of Palhinha if they receive a suitable proposal. Therefore, Arsenal or Liverpool could get his signature in the next transfer market if one of the clubs formalizes their interest.
Palhinha – valued at around £51 million per Transfer market – He still has more than four years left on his current contract. Fulham are therefore expected to demand a huge fee to let their star player go.
Liverpool have recently revamped their engine room but appear to still want to sign a new midfielder to bolster their midfield as they have been linked with a few names ahead of the summer window.
On the other hand, it has been suggested that Arsenal want to buy a new midfielder as a possible replacement for Thomas Partey, who has found it difficult to stay fit in recent years.
Palhinha is a talented player and has already shown his qualities in the Premier League in recent times. Therefore, he would be a huge coup for Arsenal or Liverpool if either club were to buy him this summer.
It will be interesting to see who will ultimately win the race to sign Palhinha if Arsenal take on Liverpool for this deal during the off-season.
