Benjamin Pavard unlikely to extend with Bayern Munich, but search ... (Bavarian Football Works)

Pavard wants to go to a different club to be a center back as opposed to right back, which is currently in higher demand by top lcubs.

Pavard’s camp has already shopped him to Barcelona and there are other clubs that would be interested in signing the French international, but most top clubs are currently in search of a right back, not a center back. Pavard’s behavior and posturing has made it quite clear that he wants to leave the club, even though a significant window has opened up for him. This was followed up by him getting benched for Jules Kounde with France at the World Cup in Qatar that caused him to make negative comments about Didier Deschamps, his coaching staff, and some of his Le Bleus teammates.

Kimmich is buoyed by other players, who can help shoulder the burden of Neuer’s absence. Kimmich played all 90 minutes in the friendly against Red Bull Salzburg. I’ll keep going like I’ve done in the past.

He is a very good centre-back and played a very good World Cup. The absences of Lucas Hernandez, Manuel Neuer and Noussair Mazraoui, all those who held a commanding presence in the Bavarian defense are surely reasons for worry.
