The transfer summer is entering the hot, chaotic and often enough panic phase. Changes are still possible until Friday. Inter Milan does not want to wait that long in the case of FC Bayern defender Benjamin Pavard. All news in the transfer ticker.
FC Bayern has given Benjamin Pavard the go-ahead for a change. This has been reported by several media since Tuesday afternoon, including transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The French national defender should travel to Milan in the near future and complete the medical check at Inter Milan by Wednesday. Pavard will probably sign a contract with the Italian club until 2028.
Pavard has been pushing for his move for weeks. On Monday he was still training with the team on Säbener Straße. CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen was optimistic that a solution would be found by the end of the transfer period and “close the issue”.
The Milanese should pay around 28 million euros plus bonuses for the 27-year-old world champion a year before his contract expires. FC Bayern would need a replacement in the event of a departure. Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah is said to be a candidate. Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel is a big supporter of the 24-year-old Englishman. Both know each other from their time together at Chelsea. Chalobah is said to have signaled that he wanted to switch to Bayern. The German international Armel Bella-Kotchap from FC Southampton is also an option.
