Benjamin Pavard’s future has remained uncertain for a long time, but it has now been decided. According to Gianluca Di Marzio and Fabrizio Romano, the French defender will join Inter Milan from Bayern Munich for a starting fee of €30m. On top of that, you may need to add two million potential bonuses. Both clubs have already reached an agreement.
Today (Monday – Ed.) There will be no official announcement, but everything is fine. We are doing our best to sign with Pavarda, we are ambitious. It is not an illusion, we believe we can achieve it
~ Inter CEO Giuseppe Marotta on Monday morning (quoted from “Mundo Deportivo”)
The 27-year-old’s contract expired on June 30, 2024. The self-interested did not send positive signals to the Bavarian administration for a long time in terms of its extension. In recent weeks there has been talk of interest from Barcelona, Manchester City and Manchester United, but it was the Italian finalists for the last edition of the Champions League who were the most realistic and won this “race”.
Who after Pavard in Bayern Munich? The nominee was Kyle Walker
The aforementioned Romano adds that the main issue now is to find his successor by the German champions. Until then, there may not be an official announcement of the move. There has been talk of wanting to sign Kyle Walker, but this transfer will not be easy.
Pavard joined the Allianz Arena in 2019 from VfB Stuttgart. He played 163 matches for Bayern, scoring 12 goals. In 2020, he won the UEFA Champions League with him. Recently, he himself admitted that he would like to play permanently as a central defender, and not as a full-back. In the 2022/23 season, he has been a guard in 23 matches and right back in 20.
In December in Qatar, he added a World Cup runner-up, but only played in the first group match against Australia.
