Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are reportedly very keen on signing Benjamin Pavard from Bayern Munich.

According to Kicker, Liverpool have asked about the availability of Bayern Munich defender Benjamin Pavard in the summer transfer window.

Liverpool are among the clubs who have enquired about the situation of Pavard at German club Bayern, according to the report in the German publication.

The Reds have been impressed by the consistency of the France international and by his ability in central defence as well as at fullback.

Kicker have reported that the £116,000-a-week (SalarySport) defender is out of contract at Bayern in the summer of 2024.

The 27-year-old has been on the books of Bayern since 2019 and is one of the best players in the Bundesliga.

The France international is in his peak now, and he would be able to make an immediate impact at Liverpool.

Now, Trent Alexander-Arnold is the number one right-back at Liverpool, and that is not going to change.

However, Pavard could establish himself alongside Virgil van Dijk in central defence in Jurgen Klopp’s team.

Pavard has made 26 starts and three substitute appearances in the Bundesliga for Bayern this season, scoring four goals and giving one assist in the process.

The Frenchman scored two goals in nine UEFA Champions League matches for the Bavarian giants this campaign.
