According to Sport Bild, Real Madrid have made a move for Vfb Stuttgart defender Benjamin Pavard. It’s potentially bad news for Arsenal, as the Gunners were heavily-linked with the right-back over the summer after he impressed for France at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. However, they look unlikely to procure his signature due to increased interest elsewhere.
Stuttgart rejected Los Blancos’ advances and have made it clear they’re unwilling to part company with Pavard, but a move could be on the cards next summer. The 22-year-old joined Stuttgart from LOSC Lille in 2016 and has gone on to make 62 appearances in all competitions.
