NEWCASTLE have received a transfer boost as Bayern Munich are in doubt over their top target Joao Palhinha, a report claims.<\/p>\n
Eddie Howe is on the hunt for a Sandro Tonali replacement – who received a ten-month ban following an investigation into betting breaches.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The Magpies are beginning to prepare for life without\u00a0Tonali.<\/p>\n
The Italian midfielder, 23, is set to miss the rest of the campaign leaving boss Howe with a major hole to fill.<\/p>\n
Fulham\u00a0star Palhinha, 28, has also been on Newcastle's radar for some time now but has been faced with fierce competition from the Bundesliga giants.<\/p>\n
Bayern Munich were on the verge of signing the Portuguese star and the end of the summer transfer window for \u00a356million.<\/p>\n
Yet the deal collapsed as the Cottagers failed to find a replacement before the window shut.<\/p>\n And it was expected that Bayern would launch a fresh deal for their top target again in January.<\/p>\n But according to German outlet BILD, Bayern are now in doubt over whether to pursue a deal to sign the Cottagers midfielder.<\/p>\n The report claims the German side are concerned about a related knee issue with Palhinha.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n And last month Palhinha agreed to a new contract with Fulham up until 2028.<\/p>\n Meaning his \u00a356million price tag has certainly inflated which is reportedly another factor that makes Bayern reluctant to pursue the deal.<\/p>\n This will be music to Howe's ears who is desperate to recruit another midfielder to his starting XI in the new year.<\/p>\n But Palhinha may be dropped again as Manchester United's Scott McTominay has also been a long-term Toon target.<\/p>\n Howe thinks he is another option to fill Tonali's role in both defensive and central midfield positions.<\/p>\n<\/picture>OUT OF TOON <\/span><\/p>\n
