Manchester United and Liverpool will battle Inter in the signing of Bayern Munich full-back Benjamin Pavard, according to the latest reports.
Pavard has one more year left on his contract and if he doesn’t agree to a new deal then Bayern Munich will have to cash in on him during the summer.
He’s been a great player for the German side and despite being a right-back, the French international has scored and assisted five goals in the Bundesliga this season.
Barcelona had a long-standing interest in the defender while Inter had tried to sign him in January. It remains to be seen if Barcelona come back for Benjamin Pavard but Inter will definitely try and sign him once again.
Will Benjamin Pavard play in the EPL next season?

Benjamin Pavard is a top talent and being a World Cup and UCL winner, he has huge experience of playing at the highest level. He’s currently valued at €35 million and at that price-tag, the 27-year-old is a steal.
However, neither Man United nor Liverpool want to sign a right-back so they will only go after Benjamin Pavard if their priority targets are onboard.
Both the English sides have made an enquiry regarding the defender but getting a right-back is not high on their agenda this summer.
Liverpool have Trent-Alexander Arnold who’s a world-class talent while Manchester United have Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Dalot in their squad. These two teams have other problematic areas which need to be strengthened.
Pavard still might sign a new contract at Bayern Munich but if he doesn’t then the Bavarians will not hold onto him. Inter will definitely be one of the favourites but we don’t see him signing for Man United or Liverpool.

‘Good news’: Man Utd look set to trump Liverpool to signing£60m international star
According to journalist Dean Jones, Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount is leaning towards a move to Manchester United after they qualified for the Champions League.
The England star has been a regular part of the Chelsea set-up since his debut in 2019 but he looks on course to leave the club this summer after turning down a new contract beyond June 2024.
Liverpool were initially deemed as favourites to land the 24-year-old but United are now in the driving seat to land his signature after securing their Champions League berth next season, as per Jones.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, he said: “With Mason Mount, the good news for Manchester United is that he is leaning towards them comparative to other options. I think that leaning could probably become a slightly firmer word, like swayed, after Manchester United qualified for Champions League football.”
Likely transfer
Mount has been a terrific performer for the London heavyweights but this season has been disruptive for him due to a persistent pelvic issue. The midfielder has been on the sidelines over recent months.
Despite this, he continues to attract high-profile interest. United are leading the hunt to land the highly-rated midfielder but Chelsea are likely to hold out for around £60 million to offload his services.
The price is on the higher side for a player in the final year of his contract and United will be aiming to negotiate on the fee knowing that Chelsea may need to balance their financial books by the end of June.
Mount would be a fabulous signing for United with his versatility. He could be used as a central or as an attacking midfielder. He may get most of his minutes from the number 8 spot ahead of Christian Eriksen.
The Englishman prefers to play from the number 10 position but Bruno Fernandes has sealed that role over recent years. The Portuguese star is set to become the permanent captain of United soon.
