Benjamin Pavard is eager to join Manchester United and the two clubs are currently in talks to reach an agreement. The World Cup winner is seen as the perfect replacement for Harry Maguire, who has agreed to a £30 million move to West Ham United.
United are keen to wait until after Monday's game against Wolves before allowing Maguire to leave, as Erik ten Hag wants to ensure he is not left short. The Frenchman has made it clear that he does not intend to renew his contract with Bayern Munich and has already agreed personal terms with United in principle.
Sky Sports Germany reports that United's opening offer for Pavard has been declined by Bayern. The German club is seeking a fee of around £30 million for the 27-year-old, which is the same amount that United will receive from West Ham for Maguire. United had hoped to secure Pavard for a lower fee in order to save money, but negotiations are still ongoing as the two teams look to come to a compromise. Bayern are keen to recoup some of the funds they spent on the signing of Harry Kane, who made his debut in a 3-0 Super Cup defeat to RB Leipzig on Saturday, with Pavard also featuring in the match.
