Manchester City linked with a move for Inter centre-back Benjamin Pavard

Manchester City are reportedly monitoring Benjamin Pavard throughout this season with the goal of signing him in the near future, according to Inter Live.

The English club views Pavard as a key target for next year, with hopes of bringing the French defender to the Premier League.

Pavard initially joined Inter Milan from Bayern Munich in 2023 for a fee of €30 million. Since arriving at the Italian club, he has made a strong impression on the team and their supporters. Pavard has already participated in 34 matches for Inter, during which he contributed 4 assists, demonstrating his ability to support both the defensive and offensive aspects of the game.

Internationally, Pavard is a seasoned player, having represented France in 54 appearances, during which he scored 5 goals. His versatility and experience on the global stage have made him an attractive prospect for top European clubs, including Manchester City.

The Premier League giants are eyeing Pavard as a potential replacement for Ruben Dias, should they need to strengthen their defensive line in the coming seasons.

Now in his second season with Inter Milan, Pavard has established himself as a key member of the squad. However, Inter Milan has made it clear that they will not let him leave easily. The Italian club is reportedly demanding €50 million for the French defender, a significant increase from the €30 million they initially paid for him. This price reflects both Pavard’s current value and his potential to continue growing as a player.

Pavard’s current contract with Inter runs until 2028, giving the Italian side a strong position in any potential transfer negotiations. While Manchester City remains interested, it is unclear whether they will be willing to meet Inter’s asking price or if negotiations between the two clubs will result in a different deal.

The interest from Manchester City highlights Pavard’s rising profile within European football. Known for his solid defensive skills, ability to play as a right-back or center-back, and his contributions to attacking play, Pavard has become one of the most sought-after defenders in Europe.

As Manchester City continues to monitor his performance this season, it remains to be seen whether the club will make a formal move to acquire him in the next transfer window. For now, Pavard remains focused on his role at Inter, where he will look to build on his impressive performances and help the team achieve further success.
