French defender Benjamin Pavard has arrived in Marseille after sealing a loan move from Inter Milan to Olympique de Marseille on transfer deadline day. The deal brings the World Cup-winning right-back back to Ligue 1, where he will look to reignite his career in front of home fans.
Pavard, who joined Inter from Bayern Munich, found playing time limited in Italy despite his solid defensive qualities and versatility. His move to Marseille offers him the chance to secure regular minutes and play a leading role in the club’s domestic and European campaigns.
Marseille supporters welcomed the 28-year-old warmly upon his arrival, seeing him as a valuable addition to their defensive setup. Pavard’s ability to play both as a right-back and center-back gives coach Roberto De Zerbi more tactical options.
Analysts say the move makes sense for all parties: Pavard gets the opportunity to prove himself ahead of major international tournaments, Inter reduces its wage bill, and Marseille strengthens its squad with an experienced, trophy-winning player.
For French football fans, Pavard’s return is exciting, as it brings one of the country’s top defenders back home at a crucial stage of his career. If he adapts quickly, he could become a leader in Marseille’s push for success in Ligue 1 and Europe.
