Bayern defender Pavard in talks with Barcelona

Barcelona could have a top-class reinforcement on the right flank next season. It's the position that struggles the most in defence, and Benjamin Pavard can solve all the problems.

Kicker' explained that the player's entourage has been in contact with the Catalan giants to try and bring him in during the summer, not the winter transfer window.

Pavard has a contract until 2024 with Bayern Munich, but is willing to move to Camp Nou alongside Xavi Hernandez.

He will not leave in the winter transfer window, even more so after the news of Noussair Mazraoui's injury, which will keep him out for the next six weeks.

Pavard, one of the names Barcelona have been tipped to reinforce their right flank, could arrive in Barcelona at his request.
