Marseille are set to sign defender Benjamin Pavard on loan from Inter Milan, covering the player’s full wages.
This via FCInternews. The loan deal will also contain a non-mandatory option to sign the Frenchman for a fee of €15 million.
With just a few hours left before the transfer window closes, Marseille have made their move for 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Lille have withdrawn their interest, as they consider a move for Pavard to be too expensive.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.
Inter and Marseille have reached a full agreement for Pavard.
The French club will sign the 29-year-old on an initial season-long loan deal.
In addition, there will also be a purchase option worth €15 million next summer.
Inter will not cover any of Pavard’s wages for the season as part of the agreement.
