Real Madrid will reportedly compete with Manchester City to sign 21-year-old German international Aleksandar Pavlovic from Bayern Munich next year.
According to a report by Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, Aleksandar Pavlovic is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The Spanish giants are keen on reinforcing their first-team squad by signing a versatile midfielder next year. So, the 21-year-old Bayern Munich whizkid has emerged as a target for Los Blancos.
The Merengues view the Munich native as an alternative to Manchester City talisman Rodri. Interestingly, the Premier League giants are also keen on signing the Bayern Munich midfield prospect. However, Pavlovic “is not pushing to leave” Bayern Munich anytime soon.
Aleksandar Pavlovic and his progress
Aleksandar Pavlovic has established himself as one of the most promising midfielders in the Bundesliga since breaking into the first-team squad at Bayern Munich. The 21-year-old spent his formative years in Germany and graduated from the youth division at Bayern Munich. The youngster has made considerable progress in the last two years, and his exploits have helped him break into his national squad.
Pavlovic has made over 50 appearances thus far for Bayern Munich, chipping in with four goals and three assists. Meanwhile, the German midfielder’s progress has piqued the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe. Premier League bigwigs, in particular, have shown interest in Pavlovic, with Manchester City among his prospective suitors. However, they face stiff competition from Real Madrid.
A man in demand
Manchester City’s interest in Aleksandar Pavlovic makes sense. The Citizens are scouring the market for a dynamic midfielder, as they have looked vulnerable in the middle of the park. Several candidates have thus emerged on Manchester City’s radar, with Pavlovic also a viable target. Meanwhile, the youngster has an admirer in Pep Guardiola.
As for Real Madrid, the Merengues are eager to bolster their midfield unit next year, as they have not been progressive enough in the middle of the park. Rodri is Real Madrid’s top target for next summer’s transfer window, and Pavlovic has emerged as the alternative on Los Blancos’ wishlist.
Meanwhile, the 21-year-old German international is also a target for Juventus, with the Bianconeri ready to compete with Manchester City and Real Madrid for his signature. However, Pavlovic has no interest in leaving Bayern Munich, and it will be interesting to see what the future holds for him.
