The arrival of Benjamin Pavard to Inter Milan remains a concrete possibility despite the current gap between the club’s offer and the asking price of Bayern Munich.
Yesterday, the Nerazzurri’s reignited interest in the player dominated the news, with various sources from Italy, France and Germany confirming the story.
In today’s edition of the La Gazzetta dello Sport (via FcInterNews), the newspaper insists that this operation remains plausible despite some stern competition.
Inter reportedly have Premier League rivals in the race for Pavard. Manchester United would like to sign the Frenchman but must first offload Harry Maguire.
Moreover, Arsenal are seeking a replacement for Jurrien Timber who suffered a devastating injury that will keep him out of action for a while.
On another note, the Beneamata still need to raise the offer to close the gap between their bid and Bayern’s asking price.
Inter reportedly offered 20 million euros with bonuses that can raise the total to 25M. On the other hand, Bayern want 30 million as a fixed fee and 35M in total.
Inter Milan Are Still Pushing For Benjamin Pavard Who’s Transfer From Bayern Munich Remains Possible
Nevertheless, the source believes that Pavard himself would be pushing for a transfer to the Giuseppe Meazza.
The player hasn’t forgotten about the club’s keen interest in his services during the 2022 World Cup. The Nerazzurri were looking to replace Milan Skriniar with Pavard last winter, but their attempts were to no avail.
Finally, the source mentions two alternatives for Inter. The first is Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah who’s currently injured. The other is Tottenham’s Japhet Tanganga.
The Spurs reportedly offered the 24-year-old’s services, but the Italians remain unconvinced by his physical attributes.
