The situation with Benjamin Pavard in Bayern is getting complicated. As per several relevant sources in Germany, the French defender is very close to the exit door at the Allianz Arena. Allegedly, Pavard has made an open condition to the Munich club: either he will be permanently moved to the position of center-back, or he will submit an official transfer request.

This suits Bayern perfectly, because in the summer they plan to invest a lot of money in a renowned center-forward, a classic number nine that would replace Robert Lewandowski in the real sense of the word.Nobody wants to go to Bayern?! Sommer prefers United, Nubel not eager to leave MonacoBut the German champion won’t rush for Malo Gusto. With Neuer out with a broken leg, their main transfer target now is a goalkeeper. Once that problem is solved, Gusto comes next. Bayern’s strategy is not to rush into negotiations. As time goes by, Lyon will have less and less room for maneuver for bargain.
