Benjamin Pavard could leave Bayern München this summer, according to multiple reports from Germany.

Bayern have reportedly targeted Juventus' Matthijs de Ligt, as head coach Julian Nagelsmann wants a strong leader at the back.

Since Pavard is not trusted by Nagelsmann to fulfill that role, the versatile defender is now considering his future, according to Kicker.

A transfer could help Bayern finance the signing of de Ligt and give Pavard the opportunity to pursue his personal ambitions of becoming a defensive leader at another top club in Europe.

The Bavarians put €35 million on the table to sign Pavard from Stuttgart in 2019. He has two years left on his contract.
