Availability is the biggest issue and in Palhina's case Bayern will have first crack if Fulham does decide to cash in on him seeing they tried to sign him on the cheap during the summer. On top of that we do have both Kovacic and Nunes still settling in at City.

Nunes is an attacking midfielder as is Kovacic. Both not great tacklers. Palhina is the much more similar to Rodri.Availability is the biggest issue and in Palhina's case Bayern will have first crack if Fulham does decide to cash in on him seeing they tried to sign him on the cheap during the summer.

I would suggest availability is not a problem and we should be able to outbid the German rags if it turns into a contest.
The main problem will be convincing the player he will get sufficient playing time given Rodri is the first name on the teamsheet…

Might be easy enough with this 4231 we seem to be falling into, not sure we'll drop 60 on him though even with Phillips gone.Nunes is an attacking midfielder as is Kovacic. Both not great tacklers. Palhina is the much more similar to Rodri.

I wouldn't outbid Bayern (or even Premier League rival for that matter) for Palhina as good as he is. Although it appears we are short in depth it is not that of a desperate situation for us to do that kind of business mid-season.Nunes is an attacking midfielder as is Kovacic.

Especially with Kimmich up in the air if he goes there.I wouldn't outbid Bayern (or even Premier League rival for that matter) for Palhina as good as he is. Although it appears we are short in depth it is not that of a desperate situation for us to do that kind of business mid-season.
