Liverpool ‘have asked about’ Benjamin Pavard’s situation at Bayern Munich as the Frenchman gears up to potentially leave the German giants this summer.
That’s according to Kicker, who say the Reds are one of several sides to have ‘enquired’ about the defender.
They explain that Pavard could be set to wear the Bayern Munich shirt for the last time in this weekend’s clash with Köln, with him starting to think about his future at the club.
He’s currently focused on the end of the season but a move away from the Allianz Arena is not out of the question as his current contract expires in 2024 and this is the last year in which Bayern could get a fee for him.
Pavard has already flirted with a departure several times in the past twelve months but recognised what he had at the club and elected to stay.
Now a decision will have to be made given his contract situation and the fact there are suitors at the table, with Liverpool among them.
According to Kicker’s information they have ‘asked about Pavard’ because he can play in central defence and in the full-back positions as well. They have also taken note of the fact he has been ‘one of the most consistent players’ at Bayern this season despite a difficult campaign for them.
That’s a positive sign as far as Liverpool are concerned and they’ve put themselves in the mix, with the poker game for his signature set to start next week.
Whether he remains in Bavaria or moves is still debatable, and Thomas Tuchel’s plans for Bayern next season will play a major part in whether Pavard decides to stay or move on.
