Bayern Munich | Bosses “enthusiastic”: U-turn at FCB star?

Benjamin Pavard was actually considered a candidate for the summer at FC Bayern. But apparently there could be a turnaround for the defender. The FCB bosses are said to be impressed by the French.

For a long time, Benjamin Pavard had to play the unloved right-back position at Bayern Munich. In the meantime, the 26-year-old has come into play in the center of defense due to a system changeover to a back three.

The world champion of 2018 can convince in this role. According to “AZ” reporter Maximilian Koch, Pavard’s performances “enthuse” the bosses of FC Bayern.

In the meantime, a contract extension is even said to be in the room. Pavard is tied to the German record champions until 2024. Last November, the defensive specialist publicly toyed with saying goodbye to Munich.

“I’m not averse to taking on a new challenge. Maybe now is the right time. Why not discover a new country, a new culture?” Pavard said in an interview with “L’Équipe”.

“With us, no one can initiate their departure with statements, especially not in public. We don’t have that,” said CEO Oliver Kahn, then rebuked the defender when asked by “Sky”.

FC Bayern prevented transfer in January

In recent months, Pavard has been repeatedly linked with FC Barcelona. In addition, Inter Milan are said to have tried their luck on the deadline day of the winter transfer window.

“Benji is a very important, variable player for us on the defensive. We have very big goals this season, so we don’t want to and can’t do without him,” said FCB sports director Hasan Salihamidzic to “Sport Bild”: “Financially it was The request is even attractive, but the sporty aspect always comes first for us.”
