Liverpool handed boost as Benjamin Pavard 'asks to leave' Bayern after transfer enquiry

Liverpool's summer transfer plans have received a boost after one of Jurgen Klopp's targets told Bayern Munich he wants to leave the club.

French international Benjamin Pavard has spent four seasons with the Germain giants, helping them to the 2019/20 Champions League crown. The club have also secured the Bundesliga title in each of those campaigns, albeit by the skin of their teeth this time around after overhauling leaders Borussia Dortmund on the final day.

But the future of 27-year-old, who also won the World Cup with his country in 2018, has been the subject of intense speculation this season amid discontent in Bayern. Manager Julian Nagelsmann was sacked mid-season in favour of Thomas Tuchel, while CEO Oliver Kahn departed within moments of the club securing the league title.
