Loaned last season to Olympique de Marseille, Benjamin Pavard experienced a particularly delicate 2025-2026 financial year. Returning to Inter Milan during the off-season, the French international (55 caps) is reborn from his ashes.
Starting on the right in a three-way defense against Cagliari on the second day of Serie A, the 30-year-old proved that he was not lost for the top level. However, when he returned from loan from Marseille, he did not necessarily fit into the plans of the Nerazzurri leaders.
With his net salary of five million euros per year, Benjamin Pavard even appeared undesirable. However, Cristian Chivu wanted to see him in action and gave him a chance during preparation matches. For the Romanian technician, his decline in performance is due to a man in particular.
Benjamin Pavard, the culprit is called De Zerbi
“What he suffered elsewhere… There was De Zerbi, you have to ask him what happened! What interests me is what is happening now. We found a player who put himself at the service of the group”he confided in comments reported by L‘Team.
Last year, after a scathing defeat for OM against Liverpool in the league phase of the Champions League, Roberto De Zerbi (it seems) attacked Benjamin Pavard. A situation that he then tried to defuse.
