Manchester City<\/a> have reportedly held ‘informal talks’ over a move for Bayern Munich<\/a> midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old has made 87 first-team appearances since emerging from Bayern’s academy system.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich Vincent Kompany<\/a> has full faith in Pavlovic’s talents, having handed the youngster 25 starts in all competitions this season.<\/p>\n

In fact, Pavlovic has started each of Bayern’s eight Champions League matches this term and is likely to feature in Tuesday’s last-16 first leg against Atalanta.<\/p>\n

Man City hold informal talks over Pavlovic swoop<\/p>\n

While he may be focused on Bayern’s bid to win multiple pieces of silverware, Pavlovic could find himself the subject of interest when the summer transfer window comes around.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Caught Offside<\/a>, Man City are among the clubs that are showing a keen interest in the Bayern star.<\/p>\n

The report claims that the Citizens have held ‘informal talks’ with people close to the Germany international.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Chelsea<\/a> are also said to be among the players’ admirers and are set to open talks with Bayern in the coming weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bayern outline Pavlovic exit stance<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for the two Premier League giants, they are expected to experience disappointment in their respective pursuits of the Bayern academy product.<\/p>\n

That is because the player’s priority is to remain at the Allianz Arena, where he is under contract until the summer of 2029.<\/p>\n

With over three years left to run on Pavlovic’s deal, Bayern are certainly under no contractual pressure to entertain transfer offers.<\/p>\n

The Bavarians view Pavlovic as a key figure to their long-term goals and are in no mood to sanction his departure, especially as they will lose one of their current central midfielders when Leon Goretzka<\/a> leaves on a free transfer this summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester City have reportedly held ‘informal talks’ over a move for Bayern Munich midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic.\u00a0 The 21-year-old…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":638538,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[45],"tags":[3778,3779,1318,1461,1430,1232,3777,220,3776,221,1926,62,3781,3780,1464,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-638537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-cycling","tag-epl","tag-football","tag-formula-1","tag-golf","tag-nfl","tag-olympics","tag-premier-league","tag-rugby","tag-soccer","tag-sport","tag-sports","tag-sports-mole","tag-teams","tag-tennis","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116187637154185949","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638537","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=638537"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638537\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/638538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=638537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=638537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=638537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
