Bayern Munich defender Benjamin Pavard has revealed that he received calls over the summer from parties interested in signing him.
The France international, a Manchester United target in the recently closed transfer window, was on the radar of several of Europe’s top clubs.
In July, a report surfaced that the Bundesliga giants had offered the player to United.
This report was reinforced by Sky Deutschland, which revealed that Erik ten Hag had “flirted” with Pavard regarding a move to England.
It’s a known secret that the Red Devils were looking for a right back after Ten Hag made it clear that outcast star Aaron Wan-Bissaka was not in his plans.
Pavard told Telefoot via SportWitness that he was contemplating leaving Bavaria.
“I questioned myself. I had calls from different clubs with my agent.
“Then I had the Bayern coach with whom we spoke and with whom we have a good relationship.”
He added: “He [Bayern coach] He made me understand that I was in his plans, that I was important to the team”.
The 26-year-old refused to rule out a potential future move, with Old Trafford listed as a likely destination should the opportunity arise.
“Maybe one day I will go to one of these clubs; you never know what the future holds.”
According to Telefoot, the other clubs that have requested the defender’s services included Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Paris St Germain.
