Defender Benjamin Pavard has changed his shirt number at Inter Milan, but he has not been taken off the market.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

Inter Milan signed Benjamin Pavard from Bayern Munich two years ago. And while he has made a big impact, there is a feeling that his form suffered a definite drop-off last season.

Furthermore, the Frenchman will turn thirty next campaign.

Therefore, there is a nagging sense that this may be the right time for Inter to cash in.

Meanwhile, Galatasaray are reportedly eyeing up a deal to sign Pavard. Big-spending Saudi Pro League club have also sounded out a move.

Then, two destinations in Ligue 1 have emerged in the form of Lille and Marseille.

In the meantime, Pavard has changed his shirt number at Inter.

For the past two seasons, the Frenchman has worn the number 28 on the back of his shirt for the Nerazzurri.

However, the Gazzetta note, Pavard will switch to wearing the number five.

This could very well seem like a hint that the 29-year-old will be sticking around.

Nevertheless, according to the Gazzetta, this is not necessarily the case. The newspaper report that Inter will still be listening to offers for Pavard.
