The Serie A giants are eager to bring the France international full-back on board, with their latest offer said to sit at around the €28 million (£24m/$30m) mark, with a further €5m linked to various bonuses. Inter had opened with a €25m bid, so are working their way up.

are, however, reporting that Bundesliga champions Bayern are demanding a package worth a guaranteed €30m (£26m/$33m) for World Cup winner Pavard. That valuation has been dropped slightly, but the German giants will not go any further when it comes to the versatile 27-year-old.
AND WHAT'S MORE
The expectation is that Inter will find the funds required to satisfy Bayern’s demands, allowing them to land a top target. They are aware that Premier League heavyweights Manchester United have also been sniffing around, but the Red Devils are also yet to make a suitable approach and would miss out entirely if the Nerazzurri act decisively.

Talks remain ongoing when it comes to Pavard, with San Siro seemingly set to be his next destination. The highly-rated defender has been with Bayern since 2019, taking in 163 appearances for the club and helping them to 11 major trophies – including four Bundesliga titles and a Champions League crown.
