It is now reported that a player Chelsea apparently considered signing in the summer has been a big problem for France in their World Cup squad this year.
Les Bleus came close to retaining the trophy, losing on penalties to Argentina in the final, and Pavard didn’t play as big a role in the 2022 squad as he did in the victorious 2018 squad.
It has now emerged that Pavard’s presence was not good for morale, as the Bayern Munich winger allegedly made inappropriate comments about his teammates and also leaked team information to the press, according to L’Equipe, according to the sun translation.
Pavard is a good player in his day, but one imagines that antics like this could keep Chelsea from signing him.

Fabrizio Romano recently claimed that the Blues considered Pavard in the summer, even though he was not a priority for them at the time.
Chelsea could use more depth at right-back as they struggled when Reece James was injured, but perhaps they should consider alternatives to Pavard.
