Iwobi set to partner former player in midfield next season as Fulham explore potential return

The 29-year-old midfielder failed to make a significant impact in Bavaria, often finding himself on the bench.

He started just seven Bundesliga games, leading to speculation about his future and a possible return to England.

According to Sportal, Fulham are currently using intermediaries to gauge Bayern's stance on a potential deal and ascertain the player's desire to return to London.

This has given Fulham hope that Bayern might be willing to part ways with Palhinha, either through a loan deal to save on his wages or a cut-price transfer.

The Portuguese star could return to his former team and play alongside Alex Iwobi, one of Fulham's best midfielders last season.

Palhinha played alongside Iwobi for just a season before leaving for Bayer Munich and his return could be a boost for Fulham next season.
