France defender Benjamin Pavard has played down speculation linking him with a move to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.
"You journalists said I had signed for Bayern but I am happy at Stuttgart," he told L'Equipe (h/t the Mirror's Liam Prenderville). "The World Cup arrived sooner than I expected, even for me. My plan was to stay another season in Germany. I am at a very big club with fantastic fans. I have signed nothing."
Niko Kovac's side had reportedly agreed a £32 million deal to sign Pavard at the end of the season, while Liverpool have also shown interest in the 22-year-old, per Prenderville.
