Manchester City are reportedly in talks with Bayern Munich for the signing of Benjamin Pavard. This also comes after defender Kyle Walker is close to Bayern Munich.
Hence, both the clubs are in negotiations over a swap deal for the right-back position. The player is also open to the move to the Premier League giants.
MANCHESTER CITY AND BENJAMIN PAVARD TRANSFER LINKS FULL STORY
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City are in talks for the signing of Benjamin Pavard. Romano also has claimed that Premier League giants are in advanced talks with the agent of the French right-back. Therefore, there is a clear indication that Pavard is open to a move to the Pep Guardiola’s side.
Manchester City are also aware that Bayern Munich remain open to selling him. This is also after Pavard has rejected multiple contract offers from the Bundesliga side. Hence, the French right-back is the priority signing for Pep Guardiola. Pep Guardiola has also received communication that Kyle Walker wants to join Bayern Munich in this summer transfer window.
KYLE WALKER WANTS TO LEAVE THE PREMIER LEAGUE GIANTS THIS SUMMER
According to reports, Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker has informed manager Pep Guardiola that he wants to join Bayern Munich. The English right-back has also only one year left on his contract. Hence, he has informed the club that he will not extend his contract with the Premier League giants. The report also claims that Walker has also agreed personal terms verbally with Bayern Munich.
However, Bayern Munich will have to agree a fee for Kyle Walker. They are also going to include Benjamin Pavard to sweeten the deal. Hence, it looks like Walker will leave Manchester City this summer transfer window. Whereas, Pavard will join as a replacement for him. Therefore, this deal will benefit both the sides for getting non-committed players off the books.
Manchester City only move for new signings if the opportunity is right. They also only move, if a player like Kyle Walker wants to leave. The Premier League giants are also negotiating with RB Leipzig over the signing of Josko Gvardiol for 100 million. However, there is no full agreement.
