Offer on the table in January? English club keen on Bayern star Pavlovic! | OneFootball

New rumor from England: A Premier League club has set its sights on Aleksandar Pavlovic and is planning to make a move as early as January.

Aleksandar Pavlovic is reportedly on Manchester United's radar. According to the English portal Football Insider, scouts from the Red Devils have been closely monitoring the development of the Bayern talent for weeks – and could make an initial move as early as January.

The 21-year-old midfielder has established himself as a key player at FC Bayern this season. Under coach Vincent Kompany, Pavlovic has already played eight competitive matches, five of them as a starter, and scored one goal.

Football Insider reports that Manchester United has listed Pavlovic as a potential reinforcement for the defensive midfield. In addition to the Munich-born player, Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace), Carlos Baleba (Brighton & Hove Albion), and Morten Hjulmand (Sporting Lisbon) are also being observed. However, Pavlovic is considered a particularly interesting candidate.

A transfer in the winter is still highly unlikely. In Munich, Pavlovic is seen as a cornerstone for the future and a figure of identification. "He is a player we want – and the FC Bayern fans want: A Munich native who has made his way to the pros at FC Bayern from a young age," explained sports director Max Eberl in the summer of 2024 after Pavlovic's contract extension.

Pavlovic interesting for Manchester United

The current contract of the midfielder runs until 2029, which gives FC Bayern an excellent starting position in possible negotiations. A premature departure is therefore only conceivable with an exceptionally high transfer fee – if at all. It is generally considered out of the question for the record champion to let a key player go in the middle of the season.

Manchester United is likely to continue observing Pavlovic to track his development over the coming months. In England, the German national player is seen as a potential long-term solution for the center – especially since United plans to fundamentally revamp the squad next summer.
