Galatasaray are reportedly ready to submit an opening bid for Inter Milan star center-back Benjamin Pavard.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Turks will soon approach the Nerazzurri to discuss the Frenchman’s transfer.

Inter have put the 29-year-old up for sale, alongside several other first-team stars, including Yann Bisseck.

Despite his experience and undeniable quality, Benjamin Pavard could depart San Siro in the coming weeks.

Indeed, his age doesn’t fit Inter’s project under Oaktree.

Galatasaray Set to Make Formal Bid for Inter Milan Defender Benjamin Pavard

Pavard joined Inter from Bayern Munich in 2023, carrying a reputation as one of Europe’s best defenders.

However, recurring fitness problems have hindered his progress in Serie A.

Furthermore, the Serie A runners-up plan to rejuvenate their squad under Cristian Chivu.

As such, they’ve already set their sights on Parma starlet Giovanni Leoni.

Considered among Europe’s elite prospects, the 18-year-old commands a substantial €40 million price tag.

In addition, Liverpool are ready to rival Inter for his signature.

Therefore, the Nerazzurri must make at least one high-profile sale in defense to raise funds for the Italian prodigy.

Pavard could pay the price, with Galatasaray set to open talks with Inter.
