City, United, Juve prime contenders for Pavard? (Sport Witness)
Manchester City, Manchester United, and Juventus could be the finalists for Bayern Munich defender Benjamin Pavard.
Pavard is coming off of a great season, is versatile and probably affordable...but has hardly gotten any bites. What gives?
That’s tough to say, but here is what we know about the interest coming from England:
Thomas Tuchel wants to keep Benjamin Pavard at Bayern Munich, but Manchester United, Manchester City, and Juventus might be more attractive

Bayern won’t go full bore after Szczesny (Cult of Calcio)
So much for those rumors linking Bayern Munich to Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, eh? It does not seem like that move will happen:
Daily Schmankerl: Bayern Munich flirting with Juventus star Wojciech Szczesny?; Inter Milan staying patient with Yann Sommer; Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-min won’t hold grudge with Harry Kane; FC Barcelona star rates his past coaches; + MORE!

Manchester City and Manchester United are locked in a race for Bayern Munich’s Benjamin Pavard, who is determined to leave the German champions this summer. That’s according to journalist Florian Plettenberg, who say the Frenchman won’t be staying at the Allianz Arena and won’t be extending his contract beyond 2024.
He ‘still wants to leave’ and that means Bayern will need to sell this summer to avoid losing him on the free transfer next year. Fortunately for them, there are interested parties. According to the journalist ‘it’s still a race’ between Manchester City, Manchester United and Juventus at this stage of the summer window.

Bayern won’t go full bore after Szczesny (Cult of Calcio)
So much for those rumors linking Bayern Munich to Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, eh? It does not seem like that move will happen:
Bayern Munich inquired about Wojciech Szczesny, but they’ll probably address their need for a new goalkeeper, as Yann Sommer is likely headed to Inter, with a different option. Juventus could be open for business, but they want more than €10M to sell him, La Repubblica informs (via Goal).
The Pole had a year automatically added to his contract, which now expires in 2025. However, the Bianconeri wouldn’t mind shedding his €13M gross salary off the books. He’d eventually look to join a team where he’d be the clear starter, which wouldn’t be the case in Bavaria despite Manuel Neuer’s injury concerns.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Bayern Munich are probing several candidates on top of Szczesny. The latest addition to their shortlist is David Raya, but Brentford ask for €40M. They are also tracking Hoffenheim’s Oliver Baumann, Sevilla’s Yassine Bounou, and David De Gea.
The ex-Manchester United goalie is a free agent but demands sizeable wages. He too could be reluctant to sign with a club where he’d have to compete.

Been saying it for years that we pay an exorbitant premium on anyone we buy from Italy.
Buying from outside your own back door is akin to shopping at a convenience store on the corner.
You know the people. You know what you are getting. They know that it is what the name says. Convenient.
There's also a price to pay for that.
Or, you can get in your car to buy the same thing or better for less, at a store 10 miles away.

it never made much sense outside of buying players that had experience in serie A. Always felt like there was a "Juve tax" for whoever we bought domestically. Nice to see Giuntoli continue his MO from Napoli.

He is better then Gatti and Danilo. Versatility and quality. Allegri could easily switch formations with him.
But Bayern would ask alot so I would pass.

Hopefully a replacement for Di Maria. It's a must.
Also competition or backup for Weah. Soule can't do that role , De shittio injured til next year.
