Bayern Munich eyeing shock transfer for Premier League defender to replace Inter Milan-bound Benjamin Pavard

BAYERN MUNICH are keeping tabs on Fulham right-back Kenny Tete.

The German giants view the Dutch 27-year-old as a potential replacement for Benjamin Pavard who is set to join Inter Milan.

Tete, who arrived at Fulham in the summer of 2020, has one-year left on his deal.

Bayern were also interested in Tete back in 2016.

He would be a good fit in Thomas Tuchel’s back line given he played alongside centre-back Matthijs de Ligt at Ajax.

It would be a major blow to Fulham who have just seen talisman Aleksandar Mitrovic sign for Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal for a club-record fee of around £50m.

Tete joined Fulham in 2020 from Lyon and signed a four-year contract.

He has gone on to make 74 league appearances for the club, scoring three goals.

Pavard had been a target of Manchester United but they missed out on his signature to Inter.

The defender missed training today with illness as confirmed by Bayern.

United had been interested in Pavard as a potential replacement for Harry Maguire.

But the Englishman’s proposed move to West Ham fell through, leading the Hammers to sign Stuttgart star Konstantinos Mavropanos instead.

Manager Erik ten Hag must sell in order to buy, but is struggling to get offers deemed acceptable for his fringe players.
