The lightning arrival of Manuel Akanji at Inter has opened the doors for another operation at Inter. In these hours, in fact, the possible departure of Benjamin Pavard has gained traction. The French defender is now reportedly one step away from Olympique Marseille.

Only the official announcement is awaited now after Fabrizio Romano’s announcement on his social media, confirming the negotiations for the loan of the French defender. Pavard will return to France on a temporary basis, with Marseille possibly exercising the option to buy for 15 million euros.

The salary will be fully covered by the French club, with the two clubs now working to sign the documents in time before the transfer window closes.
