Bayern Munich is seemingly determined a new fresh team that is made up young blood. The team in recent times is investing in bringing in young stars.
They have been in hunt of Chelsea’s youngster Callum Odoi who they have decided hard to let him join the German Football giants.
But they have kicked their team re-building by signing of Benjamin Pavard France defender.
The 22-year-old currently plays for their Bundesliga rivals VfB Stuttgart and was involved in France’s 2018 World Cup final victory over Croatia in Russia, a tournament where he also scored a stunning goal in the last-16 win over Argentina. The fee is believed to be €35m (£31.4m).
“I can announce that we managed to get the services of Benjamin Pavard from 1 July 2019,” Salihamidzic said during a Bayern training camp in Qatar. “He signed a five-year contract.”
Salihamidzic also confirmed Bayern’s interest in Chelsea teenage forward Callum Hudson-Odoi, as they look to boost their frontline following the expected departure of veteran wingers Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery at the end of the season.
“He is a very interesting player whom we really want to sign,” Salihamidzic added of the 18-year-old. “He has qualities that fit into our game. He can dribble well and has a drive towards goal. He has a lot of potential.” The season resumes next week after the annual winter break with Bayern, who have won the last six league titles, in second place, six points behind the leaders, Borussia Dortmund.
