Chelsea have not made any contact to sign Aleksandar Pavlovic from Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window, according to Bild journalist Christian Falk, who has also revealed the latest on Leon Goretzka, who is out of contract at the defending Bundesliga champions at the end of the season.
Falk wrote on his website, CF Bayern Insider: “It is NOT TRUE: Chelsea have made contact with Aleksandar Pavlović.
“It’s interesting that so many English clubs are keen on Pavlović, but it’s not true that there has been any contact. I can tell you there was some contact in the winter, but not from Chelsea – it was from Manchester City!
“They knocked on the door and asked if there was an opportunity to bring the German to the Premier League, but there was a clear “no” from the club.
“When we speak about Leon Goretzka, I can tell you that AC Milan are very concrete with him.
“They are making him an offer. This is interesting for both Tottenham and Arsenal, who like the player.
“And also for Atletico Madrid, who were very concrete in the January transfer window.
“Goretzka decided to stay at Bayern because he wants to win the Champions League again with the Bavarian giants.
“I heard he’s also interested in Serie A, so this could be a good chance for Milan.”
