Five-time European champions Liverpool are eyeing a big money move for VfB Stuttgart defender Benjamin Pavard some weeks before the start of the winter transfer window.
French international player has seen his stock rise following his impressive showings at this summer’s FIFA World Cup tournament in Russia.
Benjamin Pavard was one of the standout performers for the France team that won the tournament in Russia via a 4-2 victory over surprise finalists Croatia in their final meeting in Moscow.
The French right-back also scored the goal of the tournament following his lone strike at the Mundial.
Benjamin Pavard scored a stunning goal during the 4-3 win over fellow World Cup winner Argentina in their last 16 clashes.
He had been attracting interests from clubs like German Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich and French Ligue 1 giants
Paris Saint Germain (PSG) and Liverpool are the latest entrants into the race to sign him as per the publication from Devonlive.
Pavard is a utility defender who can play as a right-back or as a centre back and that’s what the Reds need at the moment.
Liverpool are in the middle of a mini-injury crisis in defence following the injuries to Joel Matip, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez.
Benjamin Pavard would cost at least £36m according to the aforementioned report.
