VfB Stuttgart defender Benjamin Pavard has kept the door open to a summer move away.

A target for Arsenal and Bayern Munich, the France World Cup winner refuses to shut down talk of leaving before the start of the season.

Pavard said, "I have always said that I want to play for a Champions League club. But that does not mean that I'm going this summer.

"But if there is an opportunity, why not?"

He also said, "I am now world champion. There are many clubs that want me."
