Bayern Munich's Aleksandar Pavlovic Admits "Easy" Decision Amid Manchester City Transfer Interest

Hugo Viana's Manchester City work analysed! The 22-year-old was a figurehead of City's shortlist amid the pursuit of replacing linchpin midfielder Rodri after his departure for FC Barcelona in the summer, and looked to be a befitting candidate to sit in a new-look midfield set-up under new manager Enzo Maresca .

The Germany international featured heavily for his nation during the latest FIFA World Cup despite bowing out in the Round of 16 at the hands of Paraguay, and has made waves as Vincent Kompany's midfield anchor last season, with 44 appearances in all competitions.

Reports emerging from Sky Germany last week claimed Manchester City 's transfer priorities sat with the Bayern Munich ace, even going as far as pre-empting his pursuit under expectation of Rodri's departure, before opting to sign Enzo Fernandez .
