Manchester United want Pavlovic – will Bayern be tempted by this fee? | OneFootball

Aleksandar Pavlovic is on the radar of several top clubs. Interest is especially growing from the Premier League – but FC Bayern remains relaxed. A record fee would have to be paid for a transfer of the homegrown talent.

At FC Bayern, Aleksandar Pavlovic is now much more than just a hopeful prospect. The 21-year-old midfielder has established himself as a key part of the team with consistently strong performances, impressing with his football intelligence, passing accuracy, and maturity far beyond his years.

This development has not gone unnoticed internationally – especially in England, where Pavlovic is now being closely monitored.

According to the English portal CaughtOffside, Manchester United is among the clubs that have been observing Pavlovic for months. The Red Devils reportedly see the Munich youngster as a potential successor to Casemiro. According to the report, the English record champions have internally placed Pavlovic on a list of possible reinforcements.

However, Manchester is aware that a transfer of this magnitude would be difficult to pull off – especially since FC Bayern has no intention of selling. Nevertheless, several Premier League clubs are said to have already contacted the Bayern player’s entourage to gauge the basic willingness for a transfer.

One thing is clear: If a club like Manchester United gets serious about Pavlovic, Bayern will not sell him for a bargain price. According to the report, the German record champions are demanding at least 80 million euros for their homegrown talent – a sum that would set a new benchmark in the club’s history.

For comparison: Bayern’s previous highest sales were 45 million euros. The club achieved this amount with the transfers of Robert Lewandowski (FC Barcelona, 2022), Lucas Hernández (Paris Saint-Germain, 2023), and Matthijs de Ligt (Manchester United, 2024). If Pavlovic were to be sold for 80 million euros, he would become the most expensive departure in the club’s history.

However, there is currently little to suggest that it will come to that. Pavlovic is under contract with Bayern until 2029 and strongly identifies with his youth club. There have also been no signals from his camp indicating a possible transfer. The youngster himself has repeatedly emphasized in the past how much he enjoys playing a central role at FC Bayern.

For Munich, Pavlovic would be difficult to replace in any case. Under coach Vincent Kompany, the Munich native has developed into a key player in midfield – as a link between defense and attack, setting the tempo and maintaining balance in the game.
