The Bundesliga team have rekindled their long-standing interest in the Portuguese midfielder, with personal problems not expecting to cause a problem, if a fee can be agreed upon between the two teams. The Portuguese international is currently on duty for his country in Euro 2024 and is still thought to desire the move to Munich following the collapse of the deal last summer, despite the player having a medical. Fulham were unable to sign a replacement, so the deal fell through, with the player remaining at Craven Cottage.
