Benjamin Pavard of German powerhouses Bayern Munich is attracting interest from Chelsea and Manchester United, as well as teams like Juventus and Atletico Madrid.
According to reports, the 26-year-old defender is eager for a new opportunity away from Bayern Munich, in part because he prefers to play at center back but has been frequently selected there by the Bavarians.
The French defender played 36 games in all competitions last season, but Juventus have raised the potential that he may get less playing time in both places with the additions of right-back Noussair Mazraoui from Ajax and Matthijs de Ligt from Serie A heavyweights.
The Red Devils and Blues quartet, according to French daily L'Equipe, are all interested in taking advantage of the situation, however, the Premier League teams may have disadvantages in the pursuit.
The West London giants have already brought in centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly and continue to pursue long-term target Jules Kounde, while Presnal Kimpembe is also on their wishlist.
Manchester United have already agreed on a deal for Lisandro Martinez, meaning they now have the Argentinian along with Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane as centre-back options.
The 20-times English champions, head-coach Erik ten Hag may be keen to add Pavard to his possibilities at right-back, however, that is not where the Frenchman wants to play.
The World Cup winning defender still has two years left on his current deal at Bayern Munich and the team are in no rush to sell the versatile defender, so it would take a substantial offer to tempt the German giants into making a deal.
