Two years after his arrival at Inter Milan, Benjamin Pavard is certainly not seen elsewhere than in the Nerazzurri. On his return from vacation, the French international saw his leaders put him on the transfers list. A few weeks ago, the Champions League finalist had indeed targeted Koni de Winter, defender of Genoa, but it was AC Milan who managed to recruit this Belgian player for 20 million euros (bonus included).
Pavard is certainly no longer essential in the Lombard training. The 2018 world champion had quickly established himself after his arrival from Bayern by making the perfect axial right of Simone Inzaghi. But his second season was marked by putting the bench for the benefit of Yann Bisseck and Pavard especially experienced a catastrophic end of the season with a big sprain in a ankle which made him miss the final sprint in Serie A (for an unconvincing recovery against PSG). He then relapsed during the Club World Cup …
If the northerner stayed on the bench on Sunday against the Udinese (2-1 defeat in Meazza despite an opening of the Denzel Dumfries score on a service by Marcus Thuram), he should ultimately leave the Inter during the last hours of the transfer window.
Pavard, direction Clairefontaine
As it indicates by Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the Lombard club refused a loan offer made by OM. Even if Bisseck was associated with Francesco Acerbi and Alessandro Bastoni by Christian Chivu against the Udine club, the Inter wishes to keep his French defender, always valiant. Inter plays in particular against Atlético, Liverpool, Arsenal and Dortmund in the coming months in C1.
Benjamin Pavard was not called by Didier Deschamps last Thursday for the first two matches of the French team in the World Cup qualifiers but was summoned in reinforcement Sunday after William Saliba's muscle injury. So he finds Clairefontaine's castle this Monday. The Blues challenge Ukraine on Friday, in Poland, before receiving Iceland on Tuesday of next week at the Parc des Princes.
