Marseille are closing in on the signing of Inter Milan defender Benjamin Pavard.

This according to Sky Sport Italia transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio. He reports on his homepage that the two clubs are working on a deadline day deal for the 29-year-old.

With just a few hours left before the transfer window closes, Marseille are still targeting Inter defender Benjamin Pavard.

Pavard has been linked with a few clubs this summer, with Inter reportedly willing to sell the Frenchman.

Turkish champions Galatasaray reportedly are keen on Pavard. Then, Neom have not hid their interest in bringing the 29-year-old to the Saudi Pro League.

Furthermore, the possibility of a move back to Ligue 1 has also emerged.

Lille have withdrawn their interest, as they consider a move for Pavard to be too expensive.

However, another French team could bring Pavard back to his homeland. Marseille are keen to make one more big defensive reinforcement before the transfer window closes.
