The personnel carousel in the defense of FC Bayern is picking up speed!
Because both Benjamin Pavard and Lucas Hernández want to leave the club and Munich will under no circumstances let the French duo go free of charge in the summer of 2024, the search for potential successors is now intensifying.
However, following SPORTS1-Information yet another candidate has aroused the interest of Bayern – and possibly fits the desired profile even better. His name: Pau Torres!
The Spaniard, who plays for Villarreal FC, is in his prime at 26 and, as a left-footed player, would be ideal to take Hernández’s place.
The contract of the 1.91 meter tall Spanish international expires in the summer of 2024, which puts Villarreal in the same situation as FCB with Hernández and Pavard, having to sell the central defender in this transfer window to generate a fee.
How SPORTS1 found out, the people of Munich are already in contact with Torres’ management and have expressed their interest during a first scan.
The market value of the strong defender, who is extremely fast for his size, is estimated at 45 million euros, and Juventus Turin and Aston Villa are also interested.
What also speaks for Torres and his character: his loyalty to the club. Apart from a short break when he was loaned to FC Malaga, he has been playing for his youth club Villarreal since 2014 – despite repeated offers.
Loyalty as a character trait that is also valued at Bayern.
