Pavard left out of Bayern Munich squad amid Man Utd transfer interest – but he ‘only wants’ to join another team
BENJAMIN PAVARD has been left out of Bayern Munich’s squad ahead of a proposed transfer.
The 27-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United this summer.
However, Erik ten Hag’s pursuit of him stalled earlier this month when Harry Maguire failed to reach an agreement with West Ham.
Inter Milan have since entered the transfer race – and they are on the verge of winning it.
According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, the Serie A giants reached a £27.5million agreement with Bayern Munich for Pavard on Tuesday.
Romano claims the Frenchman only wants to join Inter Milan, but he has to wait until Bayern give the green light.
With talks still ongoing, Pavard has been left out of the Bayern Munich squad ahead of today’s Bundesliga match against Augsburg.
Man Utd are yet to identify an alternative to Pavard.
The Red Devils have signed three players this summer.
Mason Mount completed a £60m move to Old Trafford in July before Andre Onana followed in a £47m transfer from Inter Milan.
Rasmus Hojlund became United’s most recent addition when he made a £72m switch from Atalanta earlier this month, but he is yet to make his debut due to injury.
Man Utd are now exploring the possibility of a loan deal for Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella, with Luke Shaw set for a spell on the sidelines due to a muscular injury.
