Defender Benjamin Pavard will wrap up his move to Inter Milan by this Thursday at the latest.
This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello SPort, via FCInterNews.
Inter are closing in on the signing of Pavard.
The 27-year-old is the player who the Nerazzurri have identified to replace Milan Skriniar in defense.
Nerazzurri CEO Beppe Marotta made no effort to hide the fact. And coach Simone Inzaghi has also admitted that he wants the Frenchman in his squad by the end of the summer transfer window.
Inter have been pushing in talks through the past few days.
They have continued to push their offer up, and hoped that the player’s insistence would make the difference.
And now, it’s a done deal. Inter and Bayern have reached a full agreement on a deal for Pavard.
The Nerazzurri will pay a fee of €30 million for the Frenchman. In addition, there are €2 million in potential add-ons, which the Gazzetta report are linked to team rather than individual objectives.

Now the only thing that’s left is for Pavard to undergo his medicals and sign his contract.,
Inter will naturally be hoping to make everything as soon as possible. The season is already underway and they’ll be looking to add a key defensive reinforcement soon.
And according to the Gazzetta, there is no doubt that the transfer will go through this week.
An important condition could be Bayern signing a replacement.
The Bavarians have always shown a certain reluctance to sell Pavard without first signing a replacement.
But Bayern’s search for a new right-sided defender is now well underway. According to the Gazzetta, the German champions are now closing in on a deal for Feyenoord right-back Lutsharel Geertruida.
Therefore, there are no real obstacles to Pavard’s move to Inter.
He should put pen to paper within the next couple days – Thursday at the latest.
