The player in question is Benjamin Pavard.
Pavard joined Bayern Munich from Stuttgart in 2019 and has since been a key figure in their side as they dominated the Bundesliga and won the Champions League in 2020.
Now though, it appears the Frenchman is looking for a fresh challenge.
Christian Falk informed CaughtOffside that Benjamin Pavard has already made his intentions clear this summer, with the Reds considered a ‘hot candidate’:
“Benjamin Pavard has informed the club that he wants to move in the summer,” the SportBILD journalist wrote. “His agents are already talking to other clubs. Among them, Liverpool is now a hot candidate. “Previously, Chelsea and Barcelona were already known to be interested, as well as Italian clubs AC and Inter Milan.”
No fee is mentioned in the report, but the defender will have just one year left on his Bayern contract at the end of this month, suggesting he will be available for a reduced fee.
