Kicker reported that the deal is worth 35 million euros ($40.9 million), which, it said, was the value of the buyout clause in his contract.
Pavard, who can also play as a centre back, has just helped Stuttgart win promotion to the Bundesliga and the club's sports director Michael Reschke had insisted the club would not let him go this season.
Pavard joined Stuttgart from Lille in 2016 for 4 million euros.
