[ad_1]
Liverpool have reportedly held talks with Bayern Munich defender Benjamin Pavard, who has also been linked with a move to Manchester United. As claimed by the German outlet BuildThe Reds set the France international as a target for the summer.
Pavard appears destined to exit the Allianz Arena this summer after four impressive seasons with Bayern Munich. The versatile World Cup-winning defender has emerged as a player in demand.
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.
At just 27 years old, Pavard is still ahead of his best days and would be a solid addition to any club due to his versatility and top-of-the-line experience. His contract at Bayern also expires in 2024 which could mean he could be available on a deal.
Niccolo Barella clarifies the transfer position after Liverpool’s interest
Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella will reportedly not be forced a move away from the San Siro despite Liverpool’s interest. Jurgen Klopp’s side have been credited with winning the European Championship in the past few weeks.

Newcastle United and Manchester United have also been linked with a transfer for the midfielder. However, Inter Milan’s £80m valuation has so far frustrated his captors.
