Report: Bayern finally allow Pavard to join Inter after week-long holdup

Benjamin Pavard's transfer to Inter Milan, which had been on hold for the last week, appears to be back on again after Italian media reported on Tuesday that his current club Bayern Munich have finally given their approval.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport and Sky Sport Italia, the French international defender is due to arrive in Milan on Tuesday and his transfer will be made official on Wednesday.

Inter Milan are expected to pay an initial €30 million for the 27-year-old defender.

The Italian club reportedly gave Bayern an ultimatum, which expired at 1 p.m. local time Tuesday, to accept or reject their offer.

Pavard, whose contract with Bayern expires in June 2024, has spent seven years in Germany with Stuttgart and then Bayern, with whom he won four German league titles and the Champions League in 2020.

Inter, third in Serie A last season and finalists in the Champions League, have started the new campaign with two wins and are third in the table.
