Newcastle United to battle with Aston Villa for Bayern Munich’s João Palhinha?
Newcastle have identified Joao Palhinha as an option in their search for an experienced midfielder to fill the void left by Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali.
Talks continue over a move for Marseille’s Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and a deal in the region of £13million could accelerate over the next 48 hours.
Daily Mail Sport understands the 31-year-old has indicated he is keen on the switch and new head coach Matthias Jaissle sees the Dane as the potential organiser at the base of his young midfield.
However, there is still work to do on that transfer and alternatives have been identified, including Palhinha. Aston Villa are also interested in the Bayern Munich midfielder, 31, and he looks set to return to the Premier League this summer after spending last season on loan at Tottenham.

Meanwhile, Palhinha needs a new home and could be a good fit for the Magpies as the team looks to start a new era. As with any more for Palhinha, though, it will come down to what a club wants to pay Bayern Munich toi get a deal done. To this point, Bayern Munich has not wavered on lowering the fee is rumored to want €25 million for the Portuguese defensive midfielder.
