The defender Benjamin Pavard, who is willing to change, is apparently increasingly isolating himself at Bayern. On Saturday, the 27-year-old Frenchman made a frustrating appearance in the “dream game” against a fan club selection.
“Bild” reports on this. Accordingly, Pavard did not actually want to play in the friendship kick in Kaltern in South Tyrol.
He did it anyway, even scored 1-0 in the 6-1 win of the German record champions, but celebrated his goal extremely cautiously.
Pavard kept conspicuously distant from the rest of the team during drink breaks and other situations during the game due to the heat at the venue. After being substituted, he disappeared into the dressing room without a word.
One thing is clear: The professional has long since concluded with FC Bayern and is said to have submitted his change request months ago, at that time with the ex-sports director Hasan Salihamidzic, who has since been fired. He is said to have given Pavard the prospect of leaving.
FC Bayern reject offers for Benjamin Pavard
But this can only happen if an offer for the runner-up comes in that meets FC Bayern’s expectations – and that hasn’t been the case so far.
Both an offer from Manchester United and an offer from Inter Milan are said to have been too low for the bosses. According to reports, they even hope for a fee of up to 50 million euros for Pavard, which would mean a new internal transfer record.
The track to Italy is obviously much hotter in terms of personnel at the moment. “We are still negotiating with Bayern. The player’s will is crucial and he wants to go to Inter. Bayern need a replacement to let him go, that’s the problem. But talks are ongoing,” said Inter boss Giuseppe Marotta on Saturday for Causa Pavard.
FC Bayern had originally toyed with signing Kyle Walker. The English national player gave the Munich team a basket and now allegedly wants to extend his contract with Manchester City, which expires in 2024.
