“I had calls from them, maybe one day I will join them” – 26-year-old french-man drops massive hint on possible Chelsea move
Benjamin Pavard, a defender for Bayern Munich, has made a hint about a potential future transfer to Chelsea.
The World Cup-winning French defender admitted that he thought about leaving Bayern Munich this summer when speaking to French television station Telefoot (via Evening Standard).
However, Telefoot has reported that Chelsea were interested in the 26-year-old’s services during the summer.
Apart from the Blues, the defender also attracted interest from the likes of Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid, and Juventus.
Pavard has entered the final two years of his deal with Bayern Munich having enjoyed plenty of success at the Allianz Arena since his move in 2019.
The Frenchman has won three Bundesliga titles and one Champions League with the Bavarian giants and has admitted that he considered a move this summer.
Pavard has claimed that his agent was approached by several clubs but Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsman convinced him to stay. He told Telefoot (via Evening Standard):
“I questioned myself, I had calls from different clubs with my agent. Afterwards, I had the Bayern coach with whom we spoke and with whom we have a good relationship. He made me understand that I was in his plans, that I was important for the team.”
The Chelsea target has revealed that he could be on the move in the future but is now fully focused on Bayern Munich. He added:
“Maybe one day I will go to one of these clubs, you never know what the future holds. I’m still a year at Bayern Munich. Afterwards, we have time to project ourselves.”
