Manchester United is reportedly keen on signing Benjamin Pavard, a French defender currently on loan at Olympique de Marseille from Inter Milan. Following the sacking of Marseille's coach Roberto De Zerbi, the club is unlikely to retain Pavard beyond the current season. The 30-year-old defender, who has a contract with Inter until 2028, is seen as an appealing target in the upcoming transfer window due to his market value of approximately €15 million. While Saudi Arabian clubs Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr have shown interest, Pavard prefers to remain in Europe. However, his €5 million-per-year salary could complicate his transfer to Manchester United. Additionally, the situation surrounding another Marseille player, Mason Greenwood, who is also looking to continue his European career, may impact United's financial decisions regarding transfer fees.
