Report Says Dortmund in Advanced Talks to Sign Benjamin Pavard

The Marseille loanee has a €15 million purchase option that looks unlikely to be activated, leaving Inter poised to sell.

Overview

  • Goal reports Borussia Dortmund are in advanced negotiations with Benjamin Pavard’s camp for a summer move as the defender eyes a Bundesliga return.
  • Pavard is on loan at Marseille from Inter with a €15 million option, which reporting suggests is unlikely to be triggered due to club instability and uneven form.
  • Inter are reportedly not planning to reintegrate the 29-year-old and would look to move him on if Marseille decline the clause.
  • Earlier reports from Sport Bild and BILD indicated Dortmund were monitoring Pavard, with a loan plus option-to-buy discussed but no concrete talks at that stage.
  • Speculation links Bayern Munich with a possible 2026/27 reunion only if squad needs dictate, as their recruitment typically targets younger profiles.
