Published on: 07 October 2026

Bayern Munich midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic has turned down the chance to join Manchester City during the summer transfer window, according to journalist Florian Plettenberg, citing BILD FC Bayern.

Manchester City began making contact with Bayern and Pavlovic in March, reports say. The Premier League club indicated it would be prepared to pay up to €100m for the 22-year-old midfielder.

Pavlovic was understood to have viewed Manchester City’s interest positively and considered the proposal. However, he ultimately decided against the move, meaning the English club never submitted an official offer to Bayern Munich.

Pavlovic has played seven matches for Bayern across all competitions this season. He has scored one goal and provided two assists.
