Bayern Munich are reportedly open to the possibility of a swap deal involving Benjamin Pavard and Manchester City's Kyle Walker.
The German champions have expressed their keen interest in acquiring the England international, seeing him as an ideal solution should Pavard leave during the current transfer window.
Thomas Tuchel's side have been active in the transfer market, securing the signings of Kim Min-jae from Napoli and Konrad Laimer for their midfield.
Adding City's star through a player swap deal would be a welcome budget-friendly move, especially given the high asking price for Harry Kane, who has been linked with the club.
However, there are concerns that the Bundesliga giants may have jeopardized the deal with a premature public announcement made by Uli Hoeneß.
Time will tell if Tuchel's team can successfully secure both English players and make this transfer window one to remember.
“Bayern Munich are yet to get an offer for Benjamin Pavard but what we’ve heard from the player’s side is that he would be interested in a move to Manchester City."
“One important thing for him is to play as a defender and not a right-back. If Pep Guardiola is playing with three in a row at the back, that would also work fine for him. So this could be the next step when they get into talks.
“Bayern want to sell him, they would talk about the scenario of a swap deal for Kyle Walker.” Christian Falk wrote for CaughtOffside in his latest exclusive column.
