Meanwhile, Benjamin Pavard has left San Siro to return to France, moving to Marseille on a season-long loan.

According to the report, Manuel Akanji will wear the No.25 jersey.

Furthermore, the former Borussia Dortmund center-back could make his Serie A debut immediately after the international break.
