Inter Milan hope to finalise a move for star Benjamin Pavard today, with the two clubs nearing an agreement.
The international has a year remaining on his deal at the Allianz Arena and he’s made it clear he’s not interested in signing an extension.
had a bid rejected for Pavard earlier this month but the Red Devils continued negotiations with Bayern over a fee.
felt Pavard would be a good replacement for Harry Maguire, who the club accepted a £30m bid from West Ham for.
However, that deal has since fallen through and Pavard is unwilling to move to Old Trafford with the level of competition at centre-back.
It’s a blow to Ten Hag’s plans to overhaul his squad this summer but United cannot afford the £30m fee for Pavard without first making a sale.
The club are walking a Financial Fair Play tightrope having spent £170m this summer and recouped just £30m through player sales.
United hope to cash in on Dean Henderson, Donny van de Beek, Eric Bailly and Brandon Williams before the window closes.
Sofyan Amrabat and Ryan Gravenberch are targets but players must be sold in order for United to submit bids for either player.
