Manchester City Eye Bayern’s Aleksander Pavlovic as Reported Successor to Rodri
A contract to 2029 at Bayern leaves any winter move uncertain.
Overview
- Reports say City have contacted Pavlovic’s representatives and are weighing a winter offer of about €50 million, with no formal approach to Bayern yet.
- The pursuit is framed as long-term midfield planning as Rodri’s recurring absences push City to consider succession options.
- Pavlovic, 21, rose from Bayern’s academy, debuted for the first team in October 2023, and earned a Germany call-up in 2024.
- Bayern are described as well positioned to resist bids due to the midfielder’s reported deal running through 2029.
- Coverage also notes interest from Manchester United, PSG and Real Madrid, and suggests Pavlovic is comfortable staying under Vincent Kompany.
