Benjamin Pavard will push to sign for Manchester United but his arrival is dependent on Harry Maguire’s exit, as per Kaveh Solhekol.
Bayern Munich want a fee of around €30 million to sanction the exit of the Frenchman, who is out of contract next summer and unwilling to sign a new deal. It was confirmed this morning that the Bundesliga giants had rejected United’s opening bid for Pavard.
However, United’s pursuit of the defender may be put on ice due to Harry Maguire’s move to West Ham United facing a roadblock. Both parties are yet to agree personal terms despite the Irons having their £30m bid accepted this week.
Maguire’s future still uncertain
This could result in the England international staying at Old Trafford and seeing out the remaining two years on his contract, consequently ending the Red Devils’ interest in Pavard.
Erik ten Hag’s preferred centre-back pairing remains the same as last season – Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez – but depth is key in the position.
