Manchester United’s transfer woes have been exacerbated recently by Inter Milan hijacking their top target, Benjamin Pavard. The Red Devils had been willing to pay €40m to beat the Italian giants in the race for the Bayern Munich defender, but Inter Milan offered €28m plus €5m bonuses.
This has been met with an angry reaction from the player and has highlighted the need for a top-class signing to bolster the current team, which has had a turbulent start to the season.
Benjamin Pavard’s Transfer Situation
Inter Milan have hijacked Manchester United’s £26m transfer for Benjamin Pavard. They have offered €28m plus €5m bonuses for the defender. Pavard had become the priority option for a new centre-back for Manchester United, but Inter Milan’s bid has been accepted. Bayern Munich is seeking a €30m fixed fee for Pavard. However, United is willing to pay €40m to beat Inter in the race to sign him. Pavard is reportedly very angry at Bayern’s refusal to entertain offers from United. United has been unsuccessful in their attempts to bring him in. With their top target now off the table, United has turned to other targets including Jean-Clair Todibo, Edmond Tapsoba, and Marc Guehi. With the transfer window closing soon, United will have to move fast if they want to sign their preferred target.
Manchester United’s Transfer Targets
Other clubs have been competing for the same defender as Manchester United. These clubs include Jean-Clair Todibo, Edmond Tapsoba, and Marc Guehi. Manchester United had made Benjamin Pavard their priority option, but Inter Milan have hijacked their bid. As a result, the Red Devils have now shifted their focus to Todibo, Tapsoba, and Guehi.
Todibo is currently on loan at Schalke 04 from Barcelona, while Tapsoba is with Bayer Leverkusen and Guehi is at Crystal Palace. All three players are reportedly on Manchester United’s shortlist for potential signings. However, the club is yet to make an official bid for any of them.
It remains to be seen if Manchester United will be able to secure any of their targets before the transfer window closes.
Manchester United’s Disappointing Start to the Season
So far, the team has had a disappointing start to the new Premier League season. They have only picked up three points from two matches against Wolves and Tottenham. Both matches saw the team struggle and be outplayed, leading to growing criticism from inside and outside the club. Former midfielder Roy Keane believes the current midfield is not capable of winning titles. Pundit Gary Neville has also suggested that Manchester United needs to sign a new midfielder in order to make a positive second season under Ten Hag.
While the team looks to build on its first season under Ten Hag, they will need to address their midfield issues in order to compete for titles. With the transfer window now open, Manchester United will look to make the necessary changes to put them back on track.
Inter Milan’s Interest in Benjamin Pavard
Pavard has become a major focus for Inter Milan as they seek to outbid Manchester United for his signature. The Italian giants have offered €28m plus €5m bonuses for the French defender, which is higher than United’s offer of €40m. This has caused tensions between Bayern Munich and Manchester United, with the former refusing to entertain offers.
Inter Milan’s interest in Pavard has been growing, and an agreement between the two clubs over the fee could be reached soon. The defender has been caught in the middle of the transfer saga, with Manchester United’s priority option for a new centre-back being rejected.
Inter Milan is keen on signing Pavard and is determined to beat United in the race to land him.
