Pavlovic signs long-term deal with Bayern
Bayern Munich have extended Aleksandar Pavlovic's contract until 2029.
“Aleksandar Pavlović is the ideal player – both to us and in the eyes of FC Bayern fans: he was born in Munich, started out at FC Bayern at a young age and has worked his way to the top,” said Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl.
“He is a perfect example of how to push on to the highest level. Players like him are fundamental to FC Bayern's identity and a shining example of how we promote young talent at the FC Bayern Campus. We want Aleks to become a face for the future of our team.”
20-year-old Pavlovic, who has been forced to withdraw from Germany's Euro 2024 squad due to tonsillitis, commented:
“Unfortunately, this tonsillitis has denied me my dream of playing in the European Championship on home turf, which is very disappointing – but I'm thrilled that my contract with FC Bayern has been extended until 2029.
"It shows the club has trust in me, which I'm eager to repay. FC Bayern is my home. I'm proud, happy and grateful, want to win trophies with the team and continue my personal development."
