When asked about the Pavard rumours back in December, the manager said: “I still think he is a very good player, but we have three centre-backs [Boateng, Hummels and Sule]“It makes no sense to get a fourth and a fifth, I don’t think we will get him in January.” Meanwhile, Bayern also confirmed their interest in Chelsea teenager Callum Hudson-Odoi.He is a very interesting player we really want to sign, Salihamidzic told German newspaper Bild, adding that he sees him as an ideal fit in Munich.
