Man United linking this summer, a transfer of Benjamin Pavard is available for a very affordable fee.
Benjamin Pavard, a versatile defender for Bayern Munich, is said to be a target for Manchester United.
The Frenchman has had a difficult time getting any form of steady minutes over the past few years in Bavaria. Now, it appears as though he might be moving.
Florian Plettenberg has the information once more. Yesterday, he tweeted to corroborate the most recent information. Now, the rumored United target is free to ‘immediately’ depart his current team.
The transfer cost might be as low as £25m–£34m (€40–50m), which is rather inexpensive for a player of the Frenchman’s caliber.
Unsurprisingly, United are not the only party with an interest. Manchester City, FC Barcelona, and Real Madrid are reportedly said to be interested.
This summer, Pavard wants a change of scenery, while United is hunting for a center-back. Kim Min-jae has been the name most frequently associated with a Reds move, but Pavard offers a respectable alternative for a variety of reasons.
Pavard is not only capable of playing at center back, but he can also play right back if necessary. That’s another area Erik ten Hag might try to improve. This action can allow one person to fill two positions.
Pavard has all the talent and skills he needs, but right now he probably lacks confidence. He needs a change of scenery, and I have no doubt that he won’t hesitate to remind us all of his ability once he gets there.
Despite this, I continue to think Min-jae is the favorite to win the Old Trafford center-back job. Since his release clause won’t go into effect until July, it’s unlikely that we’ll learn anything specific before the South Korean’s next club is chosen.
