“We are in talks with him and his advisors. It’s up to him. Of course I’d really like to keep him here. He has to say in which direction it’s going,” said Hasan Salihamidzic, sports director at FC Bayern, about two weeks ago in the “Abendzeitung” in relation to Benjamin Pavard. The Frenchman’s contract, who has repeatedly flirted with a farewell in the past, ends in the summer of 2024. The list of interested parties is getting longer.
A report by “foosball” According to Inter Milan and FC Barcelona, who have been mentioned in this context for some time, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Liverpool FC are also competing for the 2018 world champion. The magazine writes about the first requests from clubs to find out about the situation to inquire about Pavard. It should only become more concrete after the season finale on Saturday against 1. FC Köln.
This season, the right-footed player is one of Munich’s most in-form defenders, appearing in 42 games in all competitions (seven goals, one assist). Bayern want to avoid a situation like in previous years with Niklas Süle (27, BVB) and David Alaba (30, Real Madrid), with whom you entered the last year of your contract. Both Süle and Alaba decided against signing and changed free of charge.

Pavard is one of eight professionals in the Bayern squad with a working paper that expires in 2024, so the club is already aiming for an extension. Should the defensive man decide against signing, a farewell should be more likely this summer.
