This week is the last week that clubs in Europe have to agree on the signings they need for the 2023/24 season. On September 1 at 23:59 the transfer window will close and there will be no more possibilities for further negotiations. That's why teams and players are doing everything they can to solve their problems and get what they need.

 

This often leads to hasty and unexpected decisions being made. That's what seems to be happening at Bayern Munich. Benjamin Pavard has been insisting for weeks now to the club's chiefs to let him leave, as he has a deal with Inter. According to Bitbol, the Italian side are willing to pay almost $35 million to take the French right-back.

However, the Bavarian side still did not agree to the sale due to the coach's decision. Thomas Tuchel believes that, in order to get rid of Pavard, they first need to sign another defender in his place. He explained in an interview with DAZN: "We understand that Benji wants to join Inter, but to complete a transfer there is not just one thing to consider. We need to find a replacement or it won't happen."

With this scenario, fans were surprised by the French player's absence in the last game. When Bayern Munich made their Bundesliga debut against Werder Bremen, Pavard was on the bench. But on Sunday against Augsburg he was not called up. The official explanation is that he has physical problems that prevented him from training normally, although some suspect that the player is actually absent to put pressure on the chiefs to let him go to Italy.

 

Looking for replacements

Meanwhile, Thomas Tuchel is trying to find a right-back to join Bayern Munich. According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, one of the German coach's targets is Trevoh Chalobah, a Chelsea player who has not had a chance to play since the arrival of Mauricio Pochettino.
