Bayern Munich will reportedly demand around €80 million to part ways with 21-year-old German midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic amid his links with Premier League bigwigs.

According to a report by Caught Offside, Manchester City and Manchester United are interested in Aleksandar Pavlovic. The two Premier League bigwigs are keen on reinforcing their midfield units in one of the next two transfer windows. So, the 21-year-old Bayern Munich whizkid has emerged as a target for the two clubs.

The Bundesliga champions have slapped a price tag worth €80 million to part ways with the Munich native next year. However, a winter move is unlikely, with the report suggesting Pavlovic will be “one to watch” for next summer amid Manchester City and Manchester United’s eagerness to bolster their midfield departments.

Aleksandar Pavlovic: The rising German talent

Aleksandar Pavlovic has established himself as one of the Bundesliga’s most promising young midfield prospects since breaking into the first-team squad at Bayern Munich. The 21-year-old spent his formative years in Germany and graduated from the youth division at Bayern Munich.

Pavlovic has made over 50 appearances thus far for Bayern Munich, chipping in with four goals and three assists. Meanwhile, the German midfielder’s progress has piqued the attention of several high-profile clubs. Premier League bigwigs, in particular, are keen on signing the youngster, with Manchester City and Manchester United among the prospective suitors vying for his signature.

Premier League move on the horizon?

Manchester City’s interest in Aleksandar Pavlovic is understandable. Pep Guardiola has been an admirer of the youngster’s talent for a long time, compelling Manchester City to pursue the youngster’s signature. With midfield deficiencies causing City’s struggles in the last 12 months, the Bayern Munich whizkid is a viable target.

As for Manchester United, Casemiro’s long-term future is uncertain, as the veteran Brazilian midfielder has entered the final 12 months of his contract. Additionally, Manuel Ugarte has failed to make his mark since arriving from Paris Saint-Germain last year. So, Pavlovic is an option worth considering for Manchester United. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich will demand around €80 million to part ways with him.

While Bayern Munich’s price tag is high, Pavlovic has the potential to justify an outlay of around €80 million. However, a winter move will unlikely materialise, meaning Manchester City and Manchester United must wait until the summer to secure his signature.
