The 27-year-old had another successful year with the German giants in 2022-23, winning the Bundesliga despite only clinching victory over Borussia Dortmund on the season’s final day.

 

In his fourth year at the Allianz Arena, Pavard made 30 league games (starting 27 of them) and contributed 4 goals and 1 assist.

 

The defender scored a spectacular long-range goal against Argentina in the 2018 World Cup that became an instant classic and propelled France to the title.

 

Reports from 90min indicate that Manchester United are among the clubs interested in purchasing Pavard from Bayern Munich this transfer window, with the German club reportedly asking for €40m (£34.5m).

Further increasing the cost for United to acquire their objective is the allegatiоn that the Bavarians would also seek performance-related add-ons on top of that guaranteed £34.5m payment.

It was reported that Bayern Munich changed their asking price for Pavard from £30 million to £40 million as negotiations continued.

Although Manchester United are reportedly disappointed by Thomas Tuchel’s team’s new position, the Premier League heavyweights are still in the running to sign the right back.

United’s pursuit of Pavard has been complicated by the Bundesliga champions’ reluctance to let the Frenchman leave without a suitable successor, as Kyle Walker has been linked with a move to Munich.

 

Englishman Walker moved to Manchester City from Tottenham Hotspur in July 2017, becoming an integral member of Pep Guardiola’s Premier League- and Champions League-winning squad.

After it became clear that Harry Maguire’s tenure at Old Trafford was coming to an end, Erik ten Hag stripped the center back of his leadership in preparation for the upcoming season.

West Ham United have agreed to pay £30 million for the England defender, but the transfer to the London Stadium has been delayed because the player wants an additional £15 million.

Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez started as center defense for United in their Monday night win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, despite the latter reportedly suffering a minor ankle ailment.

Maguire was an unused replacement as the Red Devils started their league campaign with three points after Victor Lindelof replaced the Argentine World Cup champion at halftime.
