Bayern Munich is still unable to find a taker for midfielder João Palhinha, despite Aston Villa offering a loan with an option to buy. The club is rejecting the proposal, and personal terms between Palhinha and Aston Villa have been fully agreed for several days. The financial package of €12 million (€10 million salary, €2 million bonus) is a problem for Bayern Munich, who want a transfer fee of between €25 million to €30 million. Eberl, Bayern Munich's board member for sport, indicated that a deal with Aston Villa is off, stating, 'No chance of an agreement.' The club seems content to wait for August to play out and teams to suffer injuries, but it might behoove Bayern Munich to just find an acceptable - and lower - number and just move on. The Bavarians have been rumored to want somewhere between €25 million to €30 million in a transfer fee for Palhinha, who is now 31-years-old.
