Liverpool is currently engaged in negotiations to secure the signing of Bayern Munich’s defender, Benjamin Pavard. The club will have a distinct advantage as they will have the opportunity to observe. And thus assess him closely during in-person scouting sessions while continuing their discussions.
The Reds have embarked on their pre-season training camp in Germany. Following this, they will journey to Singapore for their tour of Asia. Upon completing the tour, they will return to the UK to finalize their preparations ahead of the upcoming season.
During their time in Asia, Liverpool’s pre-season schedule includes friendly matches against Leicester City and Bayern Munich. Liverpool travels across the globe to enhance their fitness levels before the new season. Hence, this trip could serve as an advantageous opportunity for the club to advance in their pursuit of signing Pavard.
What are the chances of Liverpool to recruit Benjamin Pavard?
Earlier this week, Christian Falk reported that the French World Cup winner, Benjamin Pavard, has garnered interest from both Chelsea and Barcelona. However, Barcelona may face difficulties in securing his signature due to financial constraints they are currently facing.
As Benjamin Pavard is approaching the final year of his contract at the Allianz Arena, where he earns €96,000 per week, this situation could potentially work in Liverpool’s favor. If Bayern Munich expresses a willingness to sell the 27-year-old defender, Liverpool may have the opportunity to sign him at a discounted price due to his contract situation nearing its expiration.
Indeed, signing Benjamin Pavard could bring exciting possibilities for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool. Bringing Pavard into the team as a right-back or right centre-back will be a great decision. Since, Klopp could potentially free up Trent Alexander-Arnold to play in the midfield. This tactical shift could also allow Liverpool to adapt their formation in-game to a 3-2-2-3 setup. Thus, maximizing the ball progression lanes and potentially adding a new dimension to their attacking play.
