“Even after the worst thunderstorms, the sun will shine again”writes Benjamin Pavard on his Instagram account, publishing some photos of his vacation. We see him enjoying a superb terrace with swimming pool with his fiancée or even meeting young children on a football field near Saint-Tropez. Inter players have been on vacation since June 30 and the surprise elimination of the Club World Cup against Fluminense (2-0) in the round of 16.
Pavard needs to blow a little after two months fairly nightmarish. In the midst of a race for the Scudetto, the 2018 world champion gave himself a big sprain to a ankle against Roma and lacked the end of the season in Serie A and the semi-finals of the Champions League against Barça. He made his return for the final of the C1 against PSG but took the water like all his team, on May 31 in Munich (5-0). In the process, he remained on the sidelines of the French team during the Final Four of the Nations League, a year after not having played the slightest minute of Euro 2024.
Finally, Pavard resumed his place in the eleven of the Nerazzurri, taken up by Christian Chivu in the meantime, at the World Cup in the United States, but he relapsed to the ankle during the first match against Monterrey and ended up being sent back to Milan two days before the elimination of the interlockers.
Benjamin Pavard on the transfers list?
Benjamin Pavard will start his pre-season preparation in a few days but will he be pushed towards the exit by the leaders of Inter? As Turkish journalists indicate, the 29 -year -old northerner is in the viewfinder of Galatasaray alongside his teammates Yann Sommer and Hakan Calhanoglu. The Inter would have rejected two proposals from the Turkish club, but would be ready, according to the Italian media, to give in its French defender.
Recruited in 2023 from Bayern, Pavard instantly made a particularly reliable axial defender for Simone Inzaghi, but he was also competition with the German colossus Yann Aurel Bisseck and sometimes lost his place as a holder. If he is very happy in Lombardy, the tricolor international must remember, a year from the 2026 World Cup in North America, that he is really on the hot seat with the Blues, both as a central defender and as a right side.
