Man United Eyes Onana as Pavard’s Asking Price Exceeds Budget

Manchester United’s interest in French right-back Benjamin Pavard has captured attention, but the path to acquisition is far from smooth.

According to sources, United’s offer of approximately £25 million falls significantly short of Bayern Munich’s reported asking price. The German giants are holding out for a fee between €45 million and €50 million (£39 million – £43 million), indicating their resolve to retain Pavard unless their valuation is met.

Erik ten Hag, United’s manager, seeks to bolster the right-back position, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot currently filling the role. However, Bayern’s steadfast demand and Pavard’s eagerness to depart complicate the negotiations. While Pavard’s contract expires next year, he yearns for an immediate exit.

While Manchester United maneuvers through the complex terrain of the transfer landscape, their competitors are also making noteworthy advancements. Chelsea’s completion of the £115 million signing of Moises Caicedo and Liverpool’s triumphant £60 million offer for Romeo Lavia are major moves that have gotten lovers of the sport talking. While United’s earlier acquisition of Mason Mount during the summer transfer window undeniably showcases their aspirations, Erik ten Hag’s dedicated pursuit of Onana shows a quest for the desired midfield balance.
