Newcastle may be open to the idea of \u200b\u200bsigning central defender Joao Paligna. According to Sky Sports, the transfer of the 31-ranked Portuguese to the English club looks unlikely.

One of the main reasons was the fear of the footballer’s homeland before moving to Tyneside. Zokrem, close to Palinya, there is no shortage of regular direct flights between Lisbon and Newcastle, which would complicate trips to Portugal.

Bayern sold the struggling player to Newcastle last year, but negotiations between the clubs did not actually end the development. In this case, according to Dzherel, the English side was apparently ready to give Palina’s homeland a private plane for regular trips to the footballer’s matches..

Benfica is considered the main contender for the Portuguese. The same situation around Palina continues to be observed by Aston Villa, which had already dealt with a football player under a special contract.

Paligna played as a loanee for Tottenham last season, and the rights for the new one belong to Bayern. Munich bought the midfielder from Fulgham in 2024 for 51 million euros.
