Bayern Munich have announced the signing of Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha on a deal until 2028.

The Portugal international, who made 33 appearances for Marco Silva's men in the Premier League last season, has made the switch to the Bundesliga almost a year since his deadline-day move to the German giants collapsed.
