Benjamin Pavard’s adventure at Olympique de Marseille did not go as planned. Since his arrival in Marseille during the last summer transfer window, the 2018 world champion has increasingly disappointed and does not really provide reliability in the Marseille hinge. The ex-Bayern Munich player was expected to bring his experience and leadership, but OM’s setbacks did not help this season. And while he has a purchase option of around €15 million in his contract, Benjamin Pavard should not stay forever in Marseille.
“He may have had a less good moment in his season but I told him that given his career, he was a great player. I found him good in Toulouse (in L1), he gained momentum. He was good in breaking logic, in reading the game. My job is to maintain this confidence.explained Habib Beye about him. But according to information from Sky Sportsthe French international would have decided to turn the page on his time at Olympique de Marseille in order to return to Inter Milan.
Benjamin Pavard will have to convince Inter Milan
The French defender, still under contract with the Italian club for two more seasons, no longer wants to continue the adventure in the Olympian jersey and now wishes to rejoin the Nerazzurri squad and once again prove his value in Serie A. But again, nothing is being done for the future of the ex-Lille player. During his time at Inter Milan, the versatile defender played 70 games, scored one goal and provided four assists, notably participating in the league title during the 2023/2024 season.
This successful Italian experience remains a major argument in his desire to return to Milan, but the trend has been more towards a departure in recent weeks. Because the Lombard press mentioned a desire on the part of the Milanese management to part ways with them, particularly after having completed the definitive purchase of Manuel Akanji, who won this season and won the Championship. This season in Marseille, Pavard was an important element with 36 matches played, one goal and three assists, despite his lackluster performances. But despite these performances, the tricolor hopes to once again become a framework for Inter’s ambitions.
