      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.”

      Ex-Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel linked with quick return to management at Bayern Munich as pressure builds on Nagelsmann

      by

      THOMAS TUCHEL has been linked with a quick return to management to replace Bayern Munich’s Julien Nagelsmann. The German champions have suffered a bizarre run of form that sees them go into the international break fifth in the Bundesliga table, five points off the top.

      A wobble has descended into a major blip as they fell to a shock defeat at FC Augsburg over the weekend.
      It’s now three games without a win for Bayern who had slipped to consecutive draws before the loss.
      With few questioning the chances of them retaining their German crown before the season began, the run of results may have set alarm bells ringing in Munich.
      Foreign media report that the alarm is even more pressing due to Chelsea’s decision earlier this month to dismiss Thomas Tuchel.

      The German boss is a world class manager and has impressed across Europe since leaving Dortmund in 2017.
      The 49-year-old’s crowning achievement was undoubtedly taking over at the Blues and winning the Champions League within his first 6 months in the job.
      But results this season went south as the “devastated” German was booted out of Stamford Bridge.
      His presence on the sidelines could put even more pressure on Nagelsmann to find an instant remedy for results.

      Following the Augsburg loss, Bild said simply: “Nagelsmann now has a problem: Tuchel.”
      While Mundo Deportivo report that while Bayern’s remain supportive of Nagelsmann, they add that Tuchel waiting in the wings gives them an “easy” option if results don’t improve.
      Bayern are aiming to win their 11th consecutive Bundesliga title and started the season in red-hot form before their faltering form.
      On the opening weekend of the season they won 6-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt and two weeks later hit seven without reply at VfL Bochum 1848.
      On the brightside for Nagelsmann, Bayern have cleared difficult tests in the Champions League to put themselves in a strong position in the group stage.
      They comfortably beat Inter Milan and then Barcelona to leave themselves in a commanding position in Group C. More

      The German champions last failed to score in the league back in February 2020.
      And although this was their first defeat of the season they have now gone four Bundesliga games without victory.
      Pressure is mounting on £30million star summer recruit Mane amid claims he is “isolated” and struggling to adapt to a more central role.
      The Senegal hero still has five goals from 11 matches overall.

      But he was taken off 12 minutes from time as Bayern chased the game at Augsburg.
      Mergim Berisha had given the mid-table hosts their first home triumph of the campaign just before the hour.
      Bayern them made three changes, including replacing Mane with Cameroon ace Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.
      But the shake-up failed to prevent more disappointment for Julian Nagelsmann’s men.

      Former Liverpool and Bayern midfielder Dietmar Hamann fears Mane is just not suited to Nagelsmann’s tactics.
      He said earlier in the week: “He is not integrated.
      “I saw him at Liverpool, where he played through the middle. That is not his position. Now he’s taking that position at FC Bayern as well.
      “He is at his best when he comes from the outside. He doesn’t look happy to me.”
      Ex-Germany star Hamann added: “Other players like Leroy Sane, Jamal Musiala or, in defence, Lucas Hernandez, who is injured at the moment, are putting in outstanding performances.
      “Nobody is talking about Mane at the moment. He seems isolated and hardly takes part in the game. FC Bayern has to get a grip on that.”
      Nagelsmann, though, insists Mane WILL adjust to Bayern’s system.
      He said: “He put in so much for Liverpool. He’s a new signing.

      The England international striker, 29, tried to force through a move to Manchester City just over a year ago but Spurs dug their heels in and kept their talisman.
      He was then linked with Bayern during the recent summer window, but once again Tottenham refused to do business and insisted that the star was going nowhere.
      However, speculation continues to rumble on over Kane’s future due to his contract ending in 2024.
      He would then be able to move abroad and leave for nothing, which could force Antonio Conte’s side to cash in at the end of this season rather than risk losing him on a free.

      Now a fresh report on Sky Sport Italia‘s special transfer edition has poured more fuel on the fire regarding a potential move to Bayern.
      Journalist Florian Plettenberg said: “I am convinced that Kane will be Bayern Munich’s real market target next summer.
      “It will depend on the player’s performance this season, but Bayern has the money. Coman, Mane and Gnabry are there, but a number nine is missing.”
      His colleague Marc Behrenbeck then added: “I am sure, Bayern Munich will bet strongly on Harry Kane. The discussion is already underway.

      Rummenigge, 66, spent ten years playing for Bayern before taking a management role in 1991.
      After being made CEO in 2002, he oversaw a golden period at the club which included 14 Bundesliga title wins and two Champions Leagues.
      Before passing his role to Oliver Kahn last year, Rummenigge also signed off on numerous top talents including Polish striker Lewandowski.
      The hitman, who joined Barcelona this summer, scored 344 goals in 375 games for Bayern after a move from Borussia Dortmund in 2014.

      He also won countless trophies, including the 2020 Treble.
      But despite Lewandowski being the second-top scorer in Bundesliga history, while also holding several records for goals, Rumminegge does NOT count him in Bayern’s top three signings.
      According to Sky, he believes “Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben and Manuel Neuer” have all proven to be more important transfers than Lewandowski – and “in this order” too.
      Ribery spent 12 years at Bayern after joining from Marseille in 2007, scoring 124 goals in 425 games while winning nine titles and a Champions League.

      As for Robben, he netted 144 times in 309 matches during a ten-year stay, winning eight titles plus a Champions League.
      Finally, Neuer is in his 12th season at Bayern and still going strong.
      He’s played 481 times for the club and has won ten titles plus two Champions Leagues.
      But Lewandowski will get the chance to prove Rummenigge wrong when new side Barcelona face Bayern in the Champions League on Tuesday.
      He angered the Germans by forcing through a move to Spain over the summer in his bid to win a first Ballon d’Or title.

      Harry Kane ‘tempted’ by Bayern Munich transfer with Tottenham star open to move in future as contract runs down

      by

      TOTTENHAM striker Harry Kane is reportedly “tempted” by the prospect of a transfer to Bayern Munich.Kane, 29, was linked with a move to Germany throughout the summer window, but Spurs refused to sell him.

      Meanwhile, Bayern have been seeking a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who forced a move to Barcelona in July.
      Club chief Oliver Kahn has already confirmed that Kane is the priority target.
      Although a move did not materialise before deadline day, the German giants are still eager to lure him to the Allianz Arena.
      And according to Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenburg, Bayern Munich are already in talks with Kane’s representatives over a potential transfer NEXT summer.

      Plettenburg said: “I am totally convinced Harry Kane will become a very, very hot topic at Bayern Munich for the next transfer window.
      “It depends on the striker’s performance this year. Bayern bosses have told them ‘let’s see what happens. We have Mane. We have Coman, Sane, Gnabry and so on’.
      “But if they don’t work and they will miss that number nine, then I told you, Bayern Munich is a number nine club. Harry Kane will become very hot.
      “There was definitely contact between the Bayern responsibles and Charlie Kane, the brother of Harry Kane. We hear it confirmed that Harry Kane can really, really imagine joining Bayern.

      “It’s too early to say he will do this. It depends on the situation with Tottenham. Nobody could believe Sadio Mane would make that step from the Premier League to Bayern, so why Harry Kane shouldn’t join him?”
      Kane has less than two years remaining on his current contract with Tottenham, so if club chiefs cannot tie him down to a new deal they risk losing him for nothing in 2024 if he isn’t sold next summer.

      The England skipper is one of the most sought-after strikers in world football.
      In 393 appearances for Tottenham he’s scored 253 goals and assisted 59.
      He is also one of England’s all-time top goalscorers. More

      Bayern Munich prodigy Mathys Tel, 17, becomes club’s youngest-ever Bundesliga scorer but can’t end run of draws

      by

      BAYERN MUNICH prodigy Mathys Tel became the club’s youngest-ever Bundesliga scorer – but the Bavarian club could not end their run of draws. The German giants drew for a third consecutive time in the league this season after they conceded a 92nd minute penalty against Stuttgart.

      It’s a surprising wobble of form for a club going for an 11th consecutive Bundesliga title.
      But positives came in the form of the goal for Tel – and yet another strike for young star Jamal Musiala.
      Tel’s goal meant he became the youngest goal scorer for the club in Bundesliga history at age 17 and 136 days.
      He opened the scoring as he drilled in a low effort after being found in the middle by Alphonso Davies.

      The wonderkid arrived from Rennes in July for around £26million.
      He only made 10 appearances for Rennes last season.
      But the young Frenchman captained France’s Under-17 side when they won the European Championship in June and is tipped for big things in France.
      Tel’s effort yesterday counted for little as Bayern were pegged back when Chris Fuehrich equalised for Stuttgart.

      The 19-year-old midfielder Musiala then gave Bayern back the lead as he scored his fifth Bundesliga goal this season.
      But Bayern fell to another draw when Serhou Guirassy equalised from the penalty spot after Matthijs de Ligt fouled him deep into stoppage time.
      The result follows surprise draws against Union Berlin and Borussia Monchengladbach.
      This is in sharp contrast to their form at the very start of the season, such as when they won 7-0 at VfL Bochum 1848 and 6-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt.
      Bayern did manage to show their best form in the Champions League this week as they won 0-2 at Inter. More
