Aleksandar Pavlovic is one of the few campus talents at FC Bayern who has managed to break through into the professional ranks. The 21-year-old is not only highly regarded by Vincent Kompany, but the DFB star is also attracting interest in England. It has now become known that the two Manchester clubs in particular are making efforts to sign the midfielder.
While Aleksandar Pavlovic struggled with many injury problems last season, things are going much better for the youngster in the new campaign. Not even a fractured eye socket could stop him from securing a regular spot under Vincent Kompany.
The 21-year-old impresses above all with his football intelligence, distribution, and physical presence. “What I’ve noticed recently, when I saw him play in Cyprus, is that physically he’s getting better and better, he’s got a composure in his game, a distributor,” emphasizes BILD chief reporter Tobi Altschäffl in the Bayern-Insider podcast.

While his strong development in Munich is being positively acknowledged, it is also attracting interest from other top clubs: “His services are in high demand in England,” says Altschäffl.
It is especially the two EPL clubs from Manchester who have set their sights on Pavlovic. “At City and United, he’s high on the list. At City, even higher,” reveals Altschäffl.
Interestingly, according to transfer insider Christian Falk, the two clubs are already actively pursuing the Bayern jewel: “It’s known that intermediaries have approached the Pavlovic side. They would love to sign him.”
While Juventus Turin and PSG have not yet taken any concrete steps, the interest from England is very real. City in particular could have a pressing need in central midfield if Rodri were to leave.
However, there is no reason to panic at Säbener Straße, as Altschäffl emphasizes: “At the moment, a transfer is not an issue for him.” Bayern are firmly planning with Pavlovic and see him as an important building block for the future. Contractually, the record champions are also secure. Pavlovic is tied to the club until 2029 and does not have a release clause.
