Benjamin Pavard transfer update amid Manchester United and Inter Milan links

Inter Milan CEO Giuseppe Marotta confirmed his club is in talks with Bayern Munich to sign Manchester United-linked Benjamin Pavard.

The French right-back was linked with United earlier this month when it looked as though Harry Maguire would be moving to West Ham. However, that deal has fallen through, lessening United's need to sign a new defender for the time being.

Earlier this week, Simone Inzaghi told reporters he was looking at Pavard but wished not to comment further on a player who was not on his team's books. Marotta has now confirmed Inter's interest in the Frenchman.

Marotta said: "Pavard? Deal on. We are still negotiating with Bayern. The player’s will is crucial and he wants to join Inter. Bayern need a replacement to let him leave, this is the issue. But talks are ongoing."

It is widely understood Pavard has no interest in remaining at Bayern beyond this summer and is hopeful of moving to a club who is willing to play him in the centre-back position.

The transfer window is in full swing and United have got their hands on three players well in advance of the September 1 deadline, with Rasmus Hojlund joining Mason Mount and Andre Onana at Old Trafford.
