 | Bayern secured a world champion31-05-2019 |
The World Champion with France Benjamin Pavard will pass to Bayern Munich after the season. The news was announced by Hasan Salihamidzic, who added that Pavar will sign a five-year contract with the German champions. At the moment it is not disclosed what transfer amount will be paid by the Bavarians of Stuttgart, but it is probably about 35 million euros.
The 22-year-old Frenchman can play in several defense positions - as a central defender and right back, and can also be used as a defensive midfielder. In recent weeks, he was interested in Barcelona, and after his good performance at the 2018 World Cup, he was also associated with the French champion Paris Saint-Germain.
Pavard went to Stuttgart from Lille for 5 million euros in the summer of 2016. So far, there have been 14 games in the Bundesliga this season, and is currently recovering from muscle injury. Swobbies play desperately in the championship and in the semi-seasons they are in the relegation zone.
The French youngster has made one of the most beautiful goals last year, leaving the helpless goalkeeper of Argentina with a famed shot outside the penalty area during the World Cup in Russia, but his success failed to bring him the Ferenc Puskas Award, which was won by MohammedSalah. Germany`s champions continue to negotiate for Chelsea`s Khalid Hudson-Odoy and it is also unclear whether Pavard`s arrival will not stop his interest in another world champion, Lucas Hernandez of Atletico Madrid.
