Joao Palhinha says his new deal is proof of his commitment to Fulham.

The midfielder, however, admits he wanted to sign for Bayern Munich last month.

Palhinha, who signed a new deal to 2028, said: I can't lie, in football, we all have dreams and those are to play in the Champions League and for the best clubs in the world.

People need to see and understand that as well but I also want to say I have all respect and I am really happy to be here as well.

The move didn't happen and now I am just focused on Fulham again. I will focus on my work and give everything I can like I have done in the past. If I am honest, I got this opportunity [to move to Bayern] because of my teammates, without them it might not have happened.

I only have 100 percent commitment to this club and full respect for the fans who support me. I will give everything I have inside and outside of the field. I am ready to start again to give my best and achieve good things."
