The French full-back doesn't want to stay at Allianz Arena, but his price tag could be too much for the Catalans
Bayern Munich defender Benjamin Pavard is once again interested in a departure in the upcoming transfer window, according to reports coming from Germany.
Sky Deutschland (via Sport) say that the French World Cup-winner has asked Bayern to listen to offers for him, after rejecting their latest renewal offer. His contract expires in 2024, and the Bavarians will have to decide whether to sell him now or potentially lose him for free.
💥 News #Pavard: He wants to leave FC Bayern in summer confirmed! And he doesn’t want to extend his contract beyond 2024. Pavard has already informed the club about his decision.

Pavard fell out with former Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann in September 2022, and it apears he is still not convinced at the prospect of staying in Munich.
The 27-year-old right-back has the approval of the Barcelona technical staff, but the tricky bit will be negotiating with Bayern, who reportedly want €35m for him - a fee Barcelona feel is inflated.

If Barcelona could sign Pavard, he would likely be a minor upgrade on Kounde at right-back, although it has been rumoured that like Kounde, he would rather play in the middle of defence.
