Manchester City and Manchester United have expressed interest in Bayern Munich midfielder Aleksandar Pavlović, with both clubs making initial contact with the player’s representatives, according to German outlet Bild. There is no formal bid at this stage, but the approaches underline the growing market value of one of the Bundesliga’s standout young midfielders.
Pavlović has emerged as a calm, press-resistant presence at the base of Bayern’s midfield, noted for his positioning, range of passing and maturity in tight spaces. Bayern view him as a core piece for the future and recently secured him on a long-term contract, a stance that would make any potential deal complex and expensive for suitors.
Sources indicate the interest from both Manchester clubs forms part of wider plans to refresh their midfield options ahead of the next transfer window. City are continually planning succession around their engine room, while United are evaluating profiles that fit a more controlled, possession-first approach.
For now, talks remain exploratory and there is no indication Bayern are willing sellers. Pavlović’s trajectory and contract situation suggest any pursuit will be a long game. Expect further updates if City or United convert their initial contact into concrete negotiations.
