The topic of João Palhinha seemed to be almost over at FC Bayern.
Fulham boss Khan's statements are now bringing a lot of momentum back into the matter.
London – FC Bayern's problems in the current crisis are particularly clear in the central midfield.
In the summer, coach Thomas Tuchel really wanted to bring a real six-man team to the Isar.
Negotiations with Fulham for a transfer of the Portuguese João Palhinha failed late as the English failed to find a suitable successor.
In the coming transfer window, a sale now seems much more realistic, as Tony Khan, co-owner and vice-president of Fulham,
revealed on the English radio station
Talksport .
Chance for FC Bayern?
Fulham is open to selling Palhinha
Those responsible at FC Bayern may have listened to these statements.
Khan said: “I want him to stay part of the team for as long as possible and we were very happy to extend his contract, but when an offer comes along that makes sense for everyone then you have to make it right with each player “Weigh up the timing.”
Tony Khan heads the operational business of Fulham FC as Vice President for his billionaire father Shahid, who also owns the Jacksonville Jaguars football team.
The entrepreneur is also responsible, among other things, for buying and selling players.
However, his willingness to sell Palhinha is also linked to the demand for a high transfer fee.
Joao Palhinha can leave Fulham FC if he receives a suitable offer.

Will Palhinha come to FC Bayern without Tuchel?
FC Fulham could demand around 70 million euros for Bayern target João Palhinha.
Given the ongoing crisis facing the German record champions, investments in the coming transfer summer are unavoidable.
The six-man position will certainly play a central role, especially since regular players like Joshua Kimmich could also leave FCB.
With the signing of Harry Kane, those responsible at Bayern have already shown that they are fundamentally prepared to pay very high transfer fees.
The Premier League player was again a dream player for Tuchel, whose days at FC Bayern are numbered in the summer.
However, Munich's interest could be further promoted regardless of the future of the head coach.
The 24-time Portuguese international has clearly demonstrated his class in the English upper house.
This is made more than clear not least by the interest of the top English clubs Liverpool and Manchester City, with whom FC Bayern would probably have to fight for the strong professional.
