Benjamin Pavard is rumoured to be Manchester United’s fifth signing in the 2023 summer transfer market. This news comes after Man United was widely reported to be releasing its defender, Harry Maguire, in the summer of 2023.
Reporting from the Daily Mail, Thursday (10/8/2023), Man United is targeting Benjamin Pavard from Bayern Munich to replace Harry Maguire. However, the name Benjamin Pavard is not the only one on Man United’s list of targeted players.
There are two other names that are also reportedly being targeted by Man United to replace Harry Maguire. They are Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice and Edmond Tapsoba from Bayer Leverkusen.
Man United itself reportedly offered Benjamin Pavard a fee of 30 million pounds, or approximately Rp. 579 billion. Pavard himself was said to be interested in moving to Man United.
The price set by Man United for Pavard itself is in accordance with the funds that the team nicknamed the Red Devils received from the sale of Maguire. Because, West Ham United, who are planning to propose to Harry Maguire, are reportedly going to redeem him with funds of £ 30 million.
Under these conditions, will Pavard be another Man United signing in the summer of 2023? If true, Pavard will become Manchester United’s fifth signing in the 2023 summer transfer market. Previously, Man United had recruited Mason Mount from Chelsea with a fee of 64.20 million euros. Then, there is also a young striker, Rasmus Hojlund, who was proposed by Atalanta.
Man United also recruited Inter Milan goalkeeper, Andre Onana. In addition, Erik ten Hag’s squad also had the arrival of Jonny Evans, who was recruited from Leicester City for free.
The figure of Pavard himself is coveted by Man United to be the next recruit because he is considered to be an ideal replacement for Maguire. Pavard himself is reportedly ready to leave because if not, he will face stiff competition for a first place in Thomas Tuchel’s team next season after Bayern recruited Kim Min-jae from Napoli.
