“Olivier always tells me that Italy is a country that lives in one hundred percent football. He told me about the magic of derbies, the great celebration of the fans for the Scudetto. I would love to play with him also because he is a great friend.”

A more open League

Pavard added that the competition in the Italian league was another tempting reason to play there. He explained that other France teammates, like Theo Hernandez and Adrien Rabiot, have also talked up how open the league is.

Frustration at Bayern?

As noted by Bulinews, Pavard is growing frustrated with his role at Bayern Munich. The defender is unhappy that he is often deployed as a right-back, instead of his preferred centre-back position.

Bayern Munich defender, Benjamin Pavard could be ready to force a move to Chelsea in January after storming out of the Bavarian’s training session on Monday, October 31st.

Pavard was the first to leave the Allianz Arena as Bayern thrashed Mainz 6-2 despite coming on as a second-half substitute for the Bundesliga champion's last weekend.

The 26-year-old, who is strongly linked with a move to Chelsea last summer, appears to be growing frustrated with how he's being treated by the German champions, Sports Brief earlier reported.
