What hasn’t been written about Benjamin Pavard in the last few days, weeks and months: Manchester United and Inter Milan were the topics. The Italians in particular have been digging intensively on the FC Bayern defender recently. But according to a media report, Pavard has now made a final decision about the future. And the Serie A club shouldn’t like that.
There was one turnaround after the other when it came to Benjamin Pavard’s future. Sometimes the defender wanted to leave, sometimes FC Bayern was thinking about selling. Then the Frenchman was supposed to stay because of the personal problems, then numerous clubs digged at the defender, who even sat on the Munich bench for 90 minutes at the Bundesliga opener at Werder Bremen (4-0), allegedly not to avoid an upcoming move to Inter to endanger.
Apparently Pavard has changed his mind with regard to the game of his colleagues. According to “Sky”, the 27-year-old has now decided to stay with the German record champions. Where he has been playing since 2019 and is under contract until 2024. Pavard’s decision fits well with the view of the Munich bosses, who were reportedly reluctant to let the versatile defender go anyway.
FC Bayern wants to give up Stanisic
However, it is quite possible that Pavard will move to Italy next summer. According to the transfer expert Gianluca di Marzio, he is said to have already committed to a change to the Milanese, if not promptly, then by the 2024/25 season at the latest – and then free of charge. Until then, Pavard will continue to wear the jersey of the German record champions.
Instead, Josip Stanisic should probably leave FC Bayern, as it is said. “Sky” thus confirms a report by the “Süddeutsche Zeitung”, according to which Stanisic is an issue at Bayer Leverkusen. Eintracht Frankfurt and clubs from England should also be involved with the full-back, who is also flexible and can also play in central defense if necessary.
Stanisic’s contract runs until 2026. It is quite possible that the 23-year-old Croatian will be awarded. ‘Sky’ know that the Croatia international has permission to leave the club. A decision should be made soon. In Bremen, Stanisic was no longer in the Bayern squad
