Top clubs chase Europe’s hottest holding midfielder Pavlovic | OneFootball

Aleksandar Pavlovic has developed from a campus prospect into a key player at FC Bayern – and that’s arousing interest. The 21-year-old has impressed this season with consistency, game intelligence, and his remarkable composure on the ball. In addition to his strong form in a Bayern shirt, the Munich native has also recently impressed with assured performances for the German national team.

According to the outlet TBR Football, Pavlovic has now come onto the radar of several top Premier League clubs.

At Monday night’s World Cup qualifier between Germany and Northern Ireland, scouts from Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool were in the stands, according to the report—all with the aim of taking a closer look at Pavlovic.

The clubs are said to be showing “growing interest” in the midfield gem of the German record champions. Manchester City is also closely monitoring the Bayern talent’s development. According to TBR Football, Pavlovic is considered in England to be one of Europe’s most exciting young holding midfielders—a profile with vision, technique, and physical presence that fits perfectly with many Premier League teams.

At FC Bayern, however, the growing international attention is not causing any unrest. The club is planning long term with its homegrown player and sees Pavlovic as a permanent part of Bayern’s future core.

It was only in the summer of 2024 that the midfielder extended his contract until 2029—a clear sign of appreciation and a strong signal to potential suitors. Internally, Pavlovic is considered “untouchable.”

In addition to his sporting qualities, Bayern officials particularly value Pavlovic’s identification with the club. As a Munich native who has worn the Bayern shirt since his youth, he embodies what both fans and club leadership want: a homegrown player who has made it all the way to the starting XI.

Sporting director Max Eberl already praised him in the summer: “Aleksandar is the kind of player we want—a Munich native who has made his way to the first team at FC Bayern from a young age.”

While scouts on the island continue to watch, Pavlovic remains firmly rooted in Munich—as a symbol of a new, self-confident Bayern generation.
