Stuttgart defender Benjamin Pavard 'signs for Bayern Munich'

Bayern Munich have reportedly agreed to a deal to sign Stuttgart defender Benjamin Pavard.

The 22-year-old has just played a key role at the World Cup, with the right-back starring for France on their way to winning the Jules Rimet trophy.

Stuttgart are keen to keep the player for at least one more season and while it appears that they have got their wish, the Bundesliga outfit face losing their main asset to Bayern.

According to SWR Sport, Bayern have agreed a deal with Stuttgart for Pavard to complete a switch to the Allianz Arena ahead of the start of the 2019-20 campaign.

The report suggests that Bayern will pay £31.2m for the versatile defender, who had a release clause in his Stuttgart contract.
