He FC Barcelona He is working with important difficulties such as the salary limit in the next summer transfer market. As already reported MD, the Barça club will once again be very attentive to the advantageous market situation of potentially interesting players, especially those who end their contract at the end of the current season or who are entering their last year of association. In the latter case it is Benjamin Pavard26-year-old French international defender who ends his contract with the Bayern Munich in 2024. Pavard is still talking to the Bavarian entity, which wants to renew him. but he just doesn’t have it clear. Meanwhile, his agents are doing market research to see which clubs can go seriously after him. and they already know that Barça is looking for a right-back and that they can invest money there, which in any case will not be very high since Pavard he would be 12 months away from leaving the perennial Bundesliga champion free. Pavard He has been one of the candidates for a winger on the Barça club’s list for some time now.
There are a couple of drawbacks to keep in mind. On the one hand, that Pavard He wants a card that is not low since he plays for Bayern. On the other, that the French international and World Cup player, with his 1.86 height, would prefer to play as a central defender instead of occupying the ‘2’ lane, a condition that he also felt Jules Kounde and that in his first year as a culé he has been a right-handed defender many times due to tactical needs.
The qualities that support Pavard they are obvious. They range from being widely tested in a club as demanding as Bayern and an equally ‘top’ team, to his tactical adaptability thanks to his competitiveness, depth and even his ability to score. This season he has six goals and one assist in 31 games.
Another variable to consider is that in the ideal ranking of the Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernandezthe first of the list of desirable reinforcements would be Juan Foyththe 25-year-old Argentine international from Villarreal, with a contract much longer than that of Pavarduntil 2026.
There are more names in the list of interesting ‘twos’. Like the 28-year-old Portuguese João Cancelo, loaned precisely until June to Bayern by Manchester City, but also with a long contract as a ‘citizen’ (2027). As he belongs to a club with such economic potential, his record is high, so it would not be an easy operation either, both for what he charges and for what they would ask for in Manchester for a new loan.
Another of the classic candidates in the culé market is the 31-year-old Belgian international Thomas Meuniersigned by Borussia Dortmund until 2024.
With all this scenery. is the pavard option the one that is back on the Barça table. At the risk of not seeing a euro if the player leaves in 2024 at the end of his contract, Bayern cannot ask for much for him if he does not renew. That is the expectation at the Camp Nou. The international ‘bleu’ has already dropped that he does not rule out opening up to play in another League.
