Manchester United target Benjamin Pavard is ready to accept a fresh challenge away from Bayern Munich
As revealed by transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United have initiated contact with Bayern Munich regarding the possible transfer of Benjamin Pavard.
Pavard has expressed interest in departing from Bayern, although the club has yet to finalise their decision on whether to part ways with the defender.
Speculation about the Frenchman’s future has intensified due to his decision not to renew his contract, which is set to expire next summer.
United have taken notice of this situation and have shown interest in securing the talented defender.
Since his arrival at Bayern in 2019, the 27-year-old French star has played a pivotal role in the team. Renowned for his versatility and defensive skills, Pavard has become a dependable and consistent performer in the Bundesliga.
The Red Devils’ interest in the experienced defender shows that they are committed to finding a replacement for the departing Harry Maguire.
Manager Erik ten Hag would be aiming to create a strong squad capable of contending for major trophies, and Pavard’s addition could greatly upgrade their defensive lineup.
The former VfB Stuttgart defender’s versatility as a centre-back or right-back offers Man United valuable options in their defensive strategy.
His adeptness in defence, tackling proficiency, and ability to anticipate plays make him an appealing option for the demands of the Premier League.
As per Romano, United are at a crucial phase in this deal, as the player is eager to secure a departure from Bayern.
Despite the considerable achievements of the German team in recent times, Pavard might be seeking fresh challenges and a new beginning elsewhere.
However, the hesitance of the Bavarian giants to part ways with their prized asset could pose problems for Ten Hag’s side.
If United are genuinely interested in securing the French star’s services, they will likely need to present a compelling proposal that persuades the German giants to consider letting go of the defender.
