However, Bayern Munich are believed to be in pole position to sign Pavard.

German outlet SportBild claim the reigning Bundesliga champions are set to trigger his €35 million release clause in 2019.

Pavard joined Stuttgart in 2016 where he steered his side to promotion.

Stuttgart finished seventh, last season, with the player making 34 league appearances ahead of the World Cup.

Didier Deschamps not only selected Pavard in his 23-man World Cup squad, but also started with the promising youngster.

Pavard shot to fame following his stunning strike against Argentina in the last 16. He volleyed home a brilliant goal, bagging his first goal on the international scene.

Pavard will likely continue his role at right-back when France play Uruguay for a spot in the World Cup semi-final.

But once the tournament is wrapped up, will he seal a deal to join Bayern Munich?
