French international defender Benjamin Pavard has been offered to FC Barcelona in recent days during the summer transfer window, amid Inter Milan's desire to offload his high salary.

The player has a good relationship with coach Hans Flick, who previously managed him at Bayern Munich, and he prefers to continue in Europe at the highest level, despite receiving a huge offer from Saudi club Neom, which he rejected in search of a team that participates in the Champions League.

Pavard, who plays as a center-back and right-back, is still a name on the table of Barcelona's management, especially since his agent, Pini Zahavi, who is close to president Joan Laporta and Flick's agent, held a meeting in Barcelona recently to present the player.

However, the Catalan club has not yet taken any official steps, as the management is focused on registering other players before the market closes, including Szczęsny, Gerard Martin, Marc Bernal, and Bardji.

Moreover, the complicated financial situation hinders any new signings, even as Barcelona approaches the implementation of the 1:1 salary rule, making any additional deal very difficult.

At the same time, sporting director Deco has proposed the option of signing a young center-back with a reserve team card, provided that he is left-footed to compensate for Inigo Martinez's departure to Saudi Arabia, but these options also face difficulties related to the salary cap.

In light of the recurring injuries of some defensive players, Flick may rely on Eric Garcia as a right-back, alongside Koundé, while Araújo, Christensen, and Koubarsi remain as the primary center-backs. Despite having emergency solutions, the coach is open to strengthening the backline if opportunities arise.
