German journalist Christian Falk recently spoke of Liverpool’s interest in the Bayern Munich star. Valcke claimed that the Reds have been in contact with the Frenchman’s agents but have not yet reached out to the Bundesliga champions.
Falk also indicated that the Manchester United target was not interested in joining a club other than Liverpool, Barcelona, ​​Chelsea or Manchester City. Tell Caught sneaking:
“Liverpool and Pavard. They spoke with the agents but never dealt with the club and that is also the attitude of other clubs. There are not many clubs that interest Pavard. There was and still is Barcelona, ​​there is Liverpool and Chelsea, and then if City is on the table, City too.”
Trent Alexander-Arnold has excelled in playing a central role for both club and country in recent times. The Reds’ interest in Pavard could mean that Jurgen Klopp has decided to deploy the England player in a midfield role in the future.
Pavard is a proven defender who is equally adept at left-back and right-back. He played 23 times as a centre-back for Bayern Munich last season while playing 20 matches as a right-back.
