Bayern Munich star not for sale despite Manchester City, Real Madrid and Manchester United interest

Similarly, the La Liga side are in the same boat with Eduardo Camavinga and may consider selling him this summer, meaning Pavlovic makes for the perfect replacement – although any move appears unlikely.

The 21-year-old has been outstanding for Vincent Kompany’s side this season and established himself as a key figure in the side that won yet another Bundesliga title, and reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

“He’s a Munich man”: Falk dismisses transfer talk

As a homegrown talent, Bayern Munich do not want to get rid of the player and Pavlovic himself does not want to leave after making 93 appearances for the club to date, as reported by journalist Christian Falk.

“Real Madrid and Manchester City made enquiries about Pavlović. Maybe Madrid would like to have him after he scored the first goal against them in the Champions League. But no, there has been no offer, no talks with the agent, no talks with the club,” Falk said on Bayern Insider.

“Perhaps they and Pep Guardiola think he’s an interesting player, but he’s a Munich man. He loves Bayern Munich; he came up through the youth ranks. I believe that behind Manuel Neuer, he’s spent the most time at the club,” he continued.

“The 21-year-old is a young player but was in the youth teams. He loves this club and I don’t think he’d leave at the moment. They certainly have one of the best teams in Europe at the moment. Perhaps even the best in Europe. He’s a big part of this side, so why should he leave?”

Who are Manchester City’s midfield priorities?

Aside from matters concerning the Bayern Munich man, Manchester City are believed to have already made it a priority to sign Nottingham Forest and England international midfielder Elliot Anderson this summer, who holds a heavy price tag of around £100 million.

Elsewhere, there have also been links between those at the Etihad Stadium and Sporting CP’s Morten Hjulmand, while Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali is another name believed to be on Hugo Viana’s shortlist.
