Manchester United and Manchester City are reportedly battling for the signature of a star Bundesliga midfielder. The player in question is Aleksandar Pavlovic, a talented young midfielder who has been making waves in the German league with his exceptional skills and versatility.

Pavlovic’s Rise to Prominence

Pavlovic has been impressing with his performances for Bayern Munich, contributing four goals and three assists in 62 appearances. His impressive form has caught the attention of top Premier League clubs, including Manchester City and Manchester United. Former Manchester United star Owen Hargreaves has praised Pavlovic, likening him to Michael Carrick, a former Manchester United midfielder known for his exceptional passing ability and vision on the pitch.

Transfer Speculation

Bayern Munich is reportedly not looking to sell Pavlovic, but the club’s stance might change depending on the offer. Manchester City is said to be willing to offer €50 million (£43.49 million) for Pavlovic, but it’s unclear if Bayern Munich would be willing to part with their prized asset. Manchester United, on the other hand, might consider offering Marcus Rashford as part of a swap deal to sweeten the deal.

Pavlovic’s Future

Pavlovic’s future remains uncertain, with several top clubs vying for his signature. While Bayern Munich is keen on retaining him, the lure of the Premier League and the prospect of regular playing time might be too enticing to resist. With his talent and potential, Pavlovic is likely to be a key player in the transfer market.

Other Transfer Rumors

In other transfer news, Manchester United is also reportedly interested in signing Joao Palhinha, a Portuguese midfielder who currently plays for Bayern Munich but is on loan at Tottenham Hotspur. Palhinha has been impressive in the Premier League and could provide physicality and experience to Manchester United’s midfield. Tottenham has an option to buy Palhinha for around £27 million, but it’s unclear if they will exercise this option ¹ ² ³.
