Aleksandar Pavlovic declined a transfer to Manchester City this year
Summary

Aleksandar Pavlovic rejected an approach from Manchester City during the previous March transfer window. Reports indicate the Premier League club was prepared to offer up to €100 million to sign the FC Bayern and Germany midfielder. Despite the significant valuation, Pavlovic maintained no interest in departing Munich. Consequently, Manchester City shifted their transfer focus, successfully recruiting Enzo Fernandez, Elliot Anderson, and Ayyoub Bouaddi to bolster their midfield options over the summer. Pavlovic remains under contract with Bayern Munich through 2029 and continues to feature for the club.
