It looks like Joao Palhinha won't be joining Aston Villa this window after talks with Bayern Munich collapsed - as reported by multiple reliable sources close to the deal. The midfielder was one of several names on their radar, but their attention now turns elsewhere after an agreement couldn't be reached. The club had hoped to wrap up a deal for the player in the coming days, but that now looks dead in the water. Talks broke down before a deal could be reached with Aston Villa, leaving the door open for clubs like Newcastle, Sl Benfica and Nottingham Forest to step in. Bayern Munich have also been linked with Igor Thiago Nascimento Rodrigues and Benjamin Sesko while Aston Villa are reportedly monitoring Matteo Ruggeri, Allan Andrade Elias and Johan Manzambi.
