Barcelona president Joan Laporta has confirmed speculation his club are interested in signing Benjamin Pavard from Bayern Munich.
Pavard is one of a host of defenders to have been linked with Barcelona this season, but it seems the interest is real and the Catalans are keen.
“He is a real option for us. His contract expires in 2024 and he wants to leave,” Laporta said, according to AS.
Pavard can play anywhere along the backline but usually features at right-back, although he has said he prefers playing in the center.
He won the World Cup in 2018 and has gone on to claim a host of titles since moving to Bayern in 2019 from Stuttgart.
