After a very impressive season at VfB Stuttgart, Benjamin Pavard had already drawn attention before the World Cup. And now, after his performances for France in Russia, the interest in the 22-year-old has only increased.

According to Sky, Pavard are not only being chased by other Bundesliga clubs. Arsenal and Atlético Madrid have both contacted Stuttgart regarding the 22-year-old.

L'Equipe reported yesterday that Bayern München, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig are all interested in the young defender, and Bild understands that Bayern are working on a deal that could bring him to München for €35 million in 2019.

However, according to Sky, Bayern haven't been in touch with Pavard yet. The 22-year-old and his agent have agreed not to negotiate with any clubs during the World Cup.

Stuttgart are adamant to keep Pavard for another season, but may have to let him go next summer. Both Bild and Sky are reporting that there is a €35 million buy-out clause in Pavard's contract that will become effective after the 2018/19 season.
