Marseille have confirmed the signing of French defender Benjamin Pavard on loan from Inter Milan. The agreement is for one season and includes no purchase option.
Pavard, 28, arrives at Marseille looking for more regular minutes after limited chances in Italy. The French international brings top-level experience, having played for Bayern Munich and Inter Milan, where he collected domestic and European honors.
This move is seen as a major boost for Marseille’s defense. The club has been searching for an experienced leader at the back, and Pavard’s versatility allows him to play both as a center-back and right-back.
Pavard is also well known for his memorable goal at the 2018 World Cup, where France lifted the trophy. His presence in Ligue 1 is expected to add quality and leadership to Marseille’s squad as they aim for a stronger domestic campaign and European push.
Inter Milan agreed to let Pavard leave on loan after finalizing the signing of Manuel Akanji from Manchester City. The Italian side wanted to balance their defensive options before approving the move.
For Marseille, the deal carries little financial risk while adding a high-profile player to their team. Fans are hopeful Pavard’s arrival will help solidify their defense and bring much-needed consistency.
The French defender is expected to be available for selection soon and could make his debut in the coming weeks. Marseille supporters will be eager to see him in action.
