Liverpool in Talks with Benjamin Pavard’s Agent Over Summer Move

Liverpool are reportedly in talks with the agent of Bayern Munich defender Benjamin Pavard, as they look to bolster their defensive options ahead of the new season. Pavard, who joined the Bavarians from Stuttgart in 2019, has made over 160 appearances for the club, helping them to four consecutive Bundesliga titles.

The Frenchman started 27 league matches for Bayern this season, equalling his highest tally since joining the club. However, according to Caught Offside, the player has informed Bayern of his desire to leave the club and is now seeking a move to pastures new.

Liverpool are said to be among the clubs interested in Pavard, with the Reds hierarchy having already held discussions with the player’s agent. While Chelsea, Barcelona, AC Milan, and Inter Milan have also been linked with the defender in the past, Liverpool are currently viewed as the ‘hot candidate’ to secure his signature.

Pavard would be a valuable addition to Liverpool’s defensive ranks, with his versatility allowing him to play as both a centre-back and a right-back. The Frenchman’s experience at the highest level would also be a major asset to Jurgen Klopp’s side as they look to mount a title challenge next season.

While it remains to be seen whether Liverpool will be able to secure Pavard’s services, the club’s interest in the defender demonstrates their commitment to strengthening their squad this summer. As the transfer window heats up, it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds and whether Pavard ends up making the move to Anfield.
