Benjamin Pavard has been linked with a summer move away from Bayern Munich, with Barcelona and Manchester United interested.
According to Florian Plettenberg, Benjamin Pavard will cost around €30-40 million, and the likes of Barcelona and Manchester United are keen on him.
The French international has been linked with Real Madrid as well. The 2018 World Cup winner has been a useful player for Bayern Munich, and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for Barcelona and Manchester United as well.
Barcelona are clearly lacking in depth in their squad, and Pavard would be a solid acquisition. The French international can play as a right-back as well as a central defender. He will add some much-needed depth and quality to the side. His versatility and technical ability will be an added bonus. The 27-year-old is an exceptional passer from the back and he fits the Barcelona style of play.
The fact that the defender could be available for €30-40 million makes him an attractive target for the Spanish club. Barcelona are going through financial difficulties, and they will not be able to pull off big-money signings. They should look to snap up bargains, and Pavard, for the reported price, could prove to be a quality acquisition.
The 27-year-old is at the peak of his powers right now, and he will look to make an immediate impact at Barcelona if the move goes through. The Frenchman has clearly proven himself in Germany. And the opportunity to move to Spain could be an attractive option for him now.
Meanwhile, Manchester United need to bring in defensive reinforcements as well. Harry Maguire could be on his way out of the club soon and will need to be replaced. Pavard can operate as a right-back. So he could be a backup option for Diogo Dalot during rotation.

Erik Ten Hag prefers players with impressive distribution skills. So the Frenchman would be the ideal fit at Old Trafford. The reported €30-40 million asking price is quite affordable for a club with Manchester United’s resources. So the Red Devils should look to get a deal wrapped up soon.
