Originally posted on SempreInter.com  |  By Toni Weeler  |  Last updated Aug 15, 2025 11:15 AM ET

Lille have reportedly rivalled Galatasaray and Neom to sign Inter Milan defender Benjamin Pavard.

This according to French outlet Foot Mercato, 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.

According to French outlet Foot Mercato, Lille have also shown an interest in bringing Pavard back to the club.

The Frenchman has played for Lille in the past. Therefore, it would be a familiar environment.

Foot Mercato report that Neom’s wage offer was not high enough for Pavard.

However, Lille could try to tempt the 29-year-old with their sporting project, as they look to make a defensive signing for next season.
