Bayern Munich’s Aleksandar Pavlovic speaks on ‘easy decision’ to turn down Manchester City

Bayern Munich midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic has explained why he had no interest in leaving his hometown club despite an approach from Manchester City earlier this year.

The 22-year-old German international confirmed that the Premier League club’s interest was flattering, but insisted that his attachment to Bayern and his hometown made the decision to remain in Munich a straightforward one.

According to Sport Bild , Manchester City made a serious enquiry about Pavlovic in March and were reportedly prepared to pay approximately €100 million for the Bayern academy product.
