The 21-year-old Germany international reflected on his accomplishments in an interview this month for club magazine Säbener 51. “[What I’m most proud of is] that I’ve managed to assert myself here and have the privilege of playing for this club. Red and white have been my colors since I was a child,” Pavlović stated in comments captured by @iMiaSanMia .

“I put my heart and soul into every training session and every game and give my all on the pitch. “There really is nothing better for me than wearing this jersey — and I’d like to do so for as long as possible. ” Bayern has something special in Pavlović.

It is not every young player that has the mindset of staying at the club as long as they can, and it is not every such player that also has the talent and profile for the club to build around. Hopefully, the young German international will be part of the Bayern midfield engine room for many years to come.
