Aleksandar Pavlovic turned down a multimillion-euro offer from England this past spring. His behavior since then is likely to please the Bayern bosses.
Aleksandar Pavlovic has long since established himself as a mainstay at FC Bayern. Just how sought-after the 22-year-old is on the international stage became clear last spring. Manchester City inquired about the German national team player in March 2026 and , according to Sport BILD , was willing to pay more than 100 million euros for the midfielder.
According to the report, Pavlovic briefly considered the offer from the top English club but ultimately decided against a move. The Munich native did not want to leave his hometown and continues to pursue big goals with FC Bayern.
Now, another detail has emerged regarding Manchester City’s approach at the time. Pavlovic is said to have deliberately chosen not to use the multi-million-euro interest to secure better financial terms for himself at FC Bayern.
Pavlovic Refrains from Salary Negotiations
According to information from Sport BILD, his contract—which runs through 2029—remained unchanged under the previous terms following City’s inquiry. Pavlovic’s annual salary is estimated at around eight million euros. Despite his strong negotiating position, he reportedly made no attempt to leverage the interest from Manchester to secure a pay raise.

});
})();
In doing so, Pavlovic is sending a strong message. An offer of this magnitude, in particular, would have given him a strong negotiating position for potential renegotiations. Instead, the midfielder continues to focus on his athletic development at FC Bayern.
The club, too, has long-term plans for its homegrown talent. Pavlovic plays a central role in Munich’s future plans. His contract provides FC Bayern with planning security through 2029.
