Pavard & Inter destined for split after Marseille loan woes & Theo Hernandez panel photo
Benjamin Pavard’s time at Inter Milan is over, with the French defender set to return to the club this summer only to be moved on immediately after a disappointing loan spell at Marseille and a falling out with the dressing room that proved impossible to repair.
According to Tuttosport, via FCInter1908, Marseille will not exercise their €15 million purchase option, meaning Pavard returns to Inter with two years remaining on a €5 million per season contract, a wage that makes him a difficult sell.
Inter have already made clear to the player that a continuation in Milan is not part of their plans.
