BAYERN MUNICH defender Benjamin Pavard has hinted he could be interested in a move amid interest from Manchester United and Chelsea.
The French right-back, 26, was persuaded to stay with the German champions in the summer and started their first five Bundesliga games of the campaign.
This was despite interest from Man Utd, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid and Juventus.
Now though, he has been benched for the past two matches, with manager Julian Nagelsmann opting to play Noussair Mazraoui instead.
And Pavard has reignited rumours of a departure from the club by refusing to rule out a transfer.
Speaking to Telefoot, he said: “I questioned myself, I had calls from different clubs with my agent.

“Afterwards, I had the Bayern coach with whom we spoke and with whom we have a good relationship.
“He made me understand that I was in his plans, that I was important for the team.
“Maybe one day I will go to one of these clubs, you never know what the future holds.
“I’m still a year at Bayern Munich. Afterwards, we have time to project ourselves.”
