SportBILD journalist Christian Falk revealed that Benjamin Pavard's agents have been in talks with other clubs, with Liverpool emerging as a strong contender for the 27-year-old's next destination.
Jurgen Klopp's side have received an early indication of their defensive reinforcements for the upcoming season, as Pavard has expressed his desire to move this summer. Previously, Chelsea, Barcelona, AC Milan, and Inter Milan have also shown interest in the French star.
While Liverpool's focus may primarily be on midfield signings following the departures of James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, there are evident concerns to address in the backline. With Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, and Ibrahima Konate facing reliability and injury issues, finding a consistent partner for Virgil van Dijk has become a priority for the recruitment team.
Pavard, whose contract expires in 2024, is known to prefer playing as a central defender rather than on the right flank. This could make him a potential fit for Liverpool, considering his versatility. However, Falk's update also highlights the need for caution, as there may be competition from other clubs vying for Bayern star's signature during the summer transfer window.
