Manchester City have pulled the plug on their pursuit of Aleksandar Pavlovic, with the move from Bayern Munich officially off. The midfielder had been considered a priority signing, but for now, he'll reportedly be staying put. It's unclear whether the club will revisit the deal further down the line or move onto other targets. With negotiations ending unsuccessfully, Aleksandar Pavlovic will not join Manchester City - but interest from Chelsea and Man Utd could yet reignite. Manchester City look balanced this season - 2.03 goals scored and 0.91 goals conceded per game. Aleksandar Pavlovic would be expected to bring control and consistency to help push them to another level. Bayern Munich continue to be linked with Pape Matar Sarr, Denzel Dumfries and Brian Brobbey while Manchester City are also rumoured to be tracking Ibrahim Maza, Mateus Fernandes and Givairo Read.
