Liverpool could soon wrap up a deal for Benjamin Pavard according to a report from CalcioMercatoWeb, with the club already having a valuable offer for the player.
The 27-year-old has been with Bayern Munich for four seasons now. And he has helped the German side to win the Bundesliga title in every campaign that he has featured in.
In 2022/23, he was still a regular in their first team, playing on 30 occasions in the league. Also, he managed his best goal contribution total since he first arrived at the club with four goals and one assist.
He has played over 100 games for the German giants, 111 to be exact.
With the player still impressing at the very top of the Bundesliga, it has led to interest in his services from elsewhere.
Most notably, Premier League side Liverpool have been keeping tabs on the situation. A recent report though suggested that Pavard himself is open to a switch to England, with the Reds, Chelsea, and Man City all listed as potential landing spots for the defender.
Liverpool in the race for Pavard
With other clubs also showing interest in the player, the Reds are supposedly leading the race to sign him. Moreover, they may even get a deal done “imminently”.
As per reports, Liverpool have already got a “winning proposal” ready to go to bring Pavard to the club. FSG apparently have the ability to match the demands of Bayern Munich and the player himself.
This would mean that a deal could happen very quickly. It doesn’t mention any talks over personal terms yet. However, it seems like the Reds have got a bid ready to go, and Bayern are happy to accept it.
Pavard is clearly still well capable of producing the goods at the highest level too. During a recent international game for France, football journalist Josh Bunting labeled a goal from the defender as “stunning” and “top class,” adding that it is what the Bayern Munich man is “capable of”.
Moreover, he has the ability to play as both right-back and center-back. So one would assume he could be the perfect fit to slot into that hybrid RCB role. This would be required if Trent continues pushing forward in the new system we saw towards the end of last season.
