A classy Bayern star would ‘love’ to sign for Manchester United and try out the Premier League for the first time, according to a trusted reporter – while rivals Liverpool look set to miss out on his capture.
Bayern defender Benjamin Pavard has been the subject of plenty of speculation in recent months due to his contract situation. His deal with the German giants expires in June 2024 and he appears unwilling to extend it as he searches for a new challenge.
It comes as no surprise that Pavard has been linked with a move to some of England’s biggest and best teams. He is versatile, with the ability to shine as either a centre-half or right-back. And he is also used to winning the most illustrious trophies, having triumphed in competitions such as the World Cup, Champions League, Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal
During the height of Bayern’s push to land Kyle Walker, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was eyeing up Pavard as a potential replacement. However, Walker now looks set to remain at the Etihad, which means Pavard is more likely to join either Liverpool or Man Utd.
On July 31, Liverpool were given a boost in their pursuit of the France international after finding out he had been put up for sale by Bayern. Thomas Tuchel’s side have no intention of losing him on a free transfer next summer.
But Liverpool now appear set to lose out on Pavard’s signing to fellow Prem giants Man Utd. On Wednesday, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano revealed how Pavard is on Erik ten Hag’s list of potential replacements for Harry Maguire, who is closing in on a West Ham switch.
