Pavard refuses Arabia and blocks the transfer, Inter looks for alternatives

The position of Benjamin Pavard continues to evolve, with a stay at Inter now appearing far from being ruled out. The French defender was and remains on the transfer market, but the situation is becoming increasingly complex.

According to Tuttosport, the Nerazzurri club appreciates the attitude shown by the player at the start of this season. Nevertheless, the management has not stopped trying to find a new destination for the former Bayern Munich player, who was bought in 2023 for 30 million plus bonuses. On the books, his residual value is still 12.2 million, with a salary of over 5 million per year until 2028.

However, the Frenchman has declined some offers from abroad, also ruling out the possibility of a transfer to Al-Ittihad as part of a potential deal that would have involved Diaby. This refusal has effectively blocked a possible exit that would have freed up significant financial resources.

The consequences of this decision have been felt in the incoming transfer market. In the last 72 hours, Atletico Madrid has overtaken the Nerazzurri in the race for Romero, leaving the Milanese club without one of its main defensive targets.
