Questions were asked if Bayern could recoup some money for the 30-year-old and it appears they might with Tottenham Hotspur interested.

In any case Palhinha is sold, BILD's Christian Falk believes that the reigning Bundesliga champions have a replacement lined up.

Palhinha's compatriot - Renato Veiga - is capable of playing in defensive midfield as well as left-back and centre-back.

Veiga, who impressed on loan at Juventus last season, could reportedly leave his parent club Chelsea for an offer of €35million.

However, it must also be noted that Sky Germany highlighted Atlético Madrid's interest in the 21-year-old talent.
