Manchester United have been informed of the amount they will have to pay to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic.
After a difficult start to this season, the Red Devils have managed to turn the situation around by winning their last three consecutive Premier League encounters.
They beat Liverpool at Anfield before beating Brighton at home last weekend. They won away against the Merseyside club after almost a decade, having lost to the Seagulls in six of their previous seven games in the competition before last weekend.
Now Ruben Amorim’s side are sixth in the league with 16 points from nine games, just two points behind second-place AFC Bournemouth. Manchester City has collected as many points as United, while Liverpool is behind.
The Portuguese boss was under enormous pressure earlier this season, but things have improved dramatically in recent weeks.
Amid this situation, the winter window is approaching and Man Utd have started exploring options to strengthen the squad and help Amorim continue their rebuilding efforts.
Pavlović to Man Utd
That happened on a large scale reported that Man Utd are planning to overhaul their midfield department next year and have been linked with a few names, including Pavlovic.
Now, Transfers have confirmed United’s interest in the German and say they will have to overcome stiff competition from city rivals Manchester City to sign the 21-year-old.
The Citizens are even prepared to launch a formal proposal worth around £43 million to sign the youngster, but Bayern Munich have no intention of letting him leave for less than £70 million as his existing contract runs until 2029.
Man Utd currently have Casemiro, Manuel Ugarte, Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes as options to deploy in the engine room. However, the Brazilian has shown signs of decline in recent years, while Ugarte has failed to find his feet in the Premier League.
Pavlovic is a talented player and has secured his place in the German national team after showing glimpses of his qualities for Bayern Munich in recent years.
He has the potential to become a world-class midfielder in the future. So he would be a big step forward for Man Utd if they finally manage to lure him to Old Trafford in January or next summer.
