Manchester United's Transfer Game-Changer: Benjamin Pavard's Determination to Join Old Trafford Shines through

Benjamin Pavard is determined to secure a move to Manchester United from Bayern Munich and is prepared to vigorously negotiate, but there is a significant disparity between the valuations of the two clubs involved.

Ongoing discussions between the clubs currently center around a deemed fair price of €30m (£25.9m). However, the realization of this transfer hinges on the departure of Harry Maguire from Manchester United.

Maguire is in the process of finalizing his departure before joining West Ham. All necessary arrangements have been made between the clubs, including a £30m deal and agreed upon personal terms.

Bayern Munich has been aware of Pavard's desire to leave for quite some time.

The versatile French international, capable of excelling as a right-back or centre-back, possesses a year remaining on his contract and is projected to command a fee ranging from £30m to £35m. Previously, the player had been associated with Manchester City, Liverpool, and Barcelona.

In their pursuit to fill the void left by Pavard, Bayern attempted to secure the services of Manchester City's Kyle Walker, however, he has opted to remain with the reigning Premier League champions.

United have conducted thorough research on multiple defenders, with Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice being among them. This is in case they need to strengthen their center-back position, which currently includes Maguire and Eric Bailly, who have engaged in negotiations with Al Nassr. Talks with Todibo's representatives have occurred to assess the terms of a possible agreement.

Erik ten Hag told We News he wants depth in the squad and competition for places to be able to fight on all fronts.

"But I think we had a very good pre-season. Our fitness levels are very good. I also think our performance levels during the pre-season were on a high level.

"We have a high level of confidence; however, it is important to note that pre-season matches hold little significance. Pre-season games are considered friendly in nature, although I personally never view any game as purely friendly. This distinction is made within the context of league matches.

"When competing for points, both teams adopt a different approach. As for us, we are fully prepared and eager to fight. We are filled with anticipation and energy as we actively pursue victory."
