Often during the transfer window, some players play the game of musical chairs and one transfer can lead to another. This could well be the case this summer for Manchester City. Pep Guardiola’s team won everything last season with the Premier League, the FA Cup and especially the Champions League. And after this success, some players are thinking of looking elsewhere. This is particularly the case for right-back Kyle Walker, unhappy with his playing time this season, and who is getting very close to Bayern Munich.
The 33-year-old English side, much appreciated by Pep Guardiola, has also agreed with the Bavarian management. With Walker close to a start, and Joao Cancelo undesirable, Manchester City are actively looking for a right-back capable of playing in a three-man defence. And according to information from RMC Sport, the Cityzens might not be looking far. Indeed, the priority of the last champion of England is called… Benjamin Pavard.
Talks could start soon
The French international is not part of Thomas Tuchel’s plans and even less with the potential arrival of Kyle Walker. He could therefore do the opposite. RMC Sports specifies that discussions could begin very soon. If Barça had shown interest for a time, the possibility of seeing Benjamin Pavard join the Premier League and Manchester City is to be taken seriously.
At the end of the contract in a year, the former defender of Stuttgart seems open to a new adventure outside Germany. After spending 5 years at Bayern Munich, the 27-year-old defender could discover new football under Pep Guardiola. And the Spanish technician could be the man capable of reviving the one who had lost his starting place in the France team during the last World Cup. To be continued then.
