Manchester United Among Clubs Interested In Inter Milan Outcast As Marseille Spell Comes To An End

Benjamin Pavard is set to return to Inter Milan after Marseille confirmed they will not trigger their purchase option, leaving the France defender in need of a new club and multiple parties already circling.

According to Jeunes Footeux, via FCInterNews, interest in Pavard is coming from several directions despite a difficult season at the Ligue 1 club.

Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are competing fiercely to lure him to Istanbul, with both Turkish giants keen to add an experienced World Cup winner to their defensive ranks.

Man Utd Monitor Pavard As Saudi Arabia Option Ruled Out For Inter Defender

However, the most intriguing option is emerging from England.

Manchester United, preparing for a return to the Champions League, are monitoring Pavard’s situation as they seek experienced defensive reinforcement.

Indeed, a move to Old Trafford would represent a significant opportunity for Pavard to silence his critics after a disappointing loan spell.

However, his €5 million salary remains a significant obstacle.

Indeed, it is unclear whether United are willing to meet that figure in full. Therefore, Pavard may need to accept a reduction to make the move happen.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabian interest from Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr has been dismissed by the same outlet.

Pavard has no intention of leaving Europe at this stage, preferring a sporting challenge over financial reward.

Inter, for their part, have no desire to reintegrate him into Chivu’s plans.

A permanent exit this summer is the objective.

And, with several clubs already in contact, that outcome looks achievable.
