The French defender has moved closer to Bayern’s exit doors since the arrival of Joao Cancelo.
Bayern Munich reportedly demand €30m for Benjamin Pavard amid interest from Barcelona.
Inter reportedly attempted to sign Pavard this winter, but Bayern blocked the move. The Bavarians, however, seem interested in selling the right-back next summer.
The shock arrival of Joao Cancelo has provided Bayern with another reliable option at the right-back position.
According to SPORT, Bayern hope to activate Cancelo’s buy option by raising funds from selling Pavard.
The Spanish source claims Bayern demand around €30m for the World Cup winner. That won’t be enough to cover Cancelo’s transfer fee. But the Bavarians hope to negotiate with Manchester City over a lower price.
Hector Bellerin left Barcelona to join Sporting Lisbon on the transfer window’s deadline day. His departure leaves the Catalans without a reliable option on the right-hand side of their backline.
Jules Kounde will most likely continue playing at the position, but it’s not a secret that he’s more comfortable playing as a centre-back.
After a difficult spell last season, Pavard has regained his best form since the start of the current campaign. The 26-year-old has featured in 15 Bundesliga games for the German giants, playing both as a centre-back and a right-back under Julian Nagelsmann.
