BAYERN MUNICH are ready to offer Benjamin Pavard to Manchester City as part of their swoop for Kyle Walker.
The German giants are confident they can land the England international, 33, this summer — and believe he wants to join.
Bayern Munich may offer Benjamin Pavard to Manchester City in exchange for Kyle Walker
Bayern Munich are keen to sign Manchester City star Walker this summer
Sources close to the defender say he is still making his mind up after City offered a two-year contract earlier this month.
Walker is due to return from his holidays over the weekend ready for pre-season training, starting on Monday.
And he plans to hold talks with City boss Pep Guardiola before the squad jet off on their pre-season tour of the Far East on Wednesday.
If he does indicate he wants to leave for a new challenge, Bayern would still need to agree a fee with City.
Walker has one year left on his deal and the hope at the Allianz Arena is they could land him for £15million.
Another option is to offer French international Pavard, 27, a move in the opposite direction.
He operates at right-back or centre-half, so his versatility could appeal to Guardiola.
The City boss is still optimistic that Walker can stay with the team despite his struggles during the Treble-winning season.
The former Tottenham player was interested in joining the Bundesliga since he has long wanted to try his luck abroad before the end of his career.
However, he was pleasantly pleased by the offer that City made, and it made him realize he still contributes significantly to the team at the Etihad.
In the interim, Bayern is also attempting to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham, who plays for Walker’s England side.
