Palhinha credits Fulham boss Silva for facilitating his move to Bayern Munich

After the unsuccessful transfer attempt last year, Palhinha has finally made his way to Bayern this summer from Fulham. Speaking with bundesliga.com, the 29-year-old opened up about his experience following the missed opportunity to join Bayern a year ago.

He recalled: "It was a difficult time, but I knew I had to keep playing for Fulham and that's what I did. Of course, the first few weeks were hard for me. I had some discussions with the coach (Marco Silva) and he helped me get back to my highest level. I also had a good season at Fulham, which led to me coming here after all."

On his current plans, Palhinha said: "When you play for a big club like Bayern, you have reached the highest level. I have realised my dream, but I know that I will feel fulfilled if I succeed here. It is not only a dream to sign for Bayern, but also to be successful here. I want to write my own history here and win trophies."

Palhinha has a long-term contract in Munich until 2028.
