Bavard on Union's Radar for Summer Transfer Window

Al-Ittihad has opened discussions to sign French defender Benjamin Pavard, currently with Inter Milan, to bolster their backline before the start of the new sporting season. According to Fussballeuropa, the club's management has made initial contacts with the player's representatives to gauge his interest in a new challenge in the Roshn Saudi League. The "Tiger" has initially reached out to assess Pavard and his surroundings, with plans to begin formal negotiations with Inter Milan once they receive preliminary approval from the player and his agent. The French defender boasts extensive experience in European football, having played for Stuttgart and Bayern Munich before moving to Inter Milan. Pavard also has an impressive international record with the French national team, making him an attractive target for Al-Ittihad's management, which is keen on adding experienced players to the squad. The club's management, in coordination with head coach Jens Kinscher, is working to reinforce several positions to prepare a competitive roster for both domestic and continental challenges in the upcoming season. Al-Ittihad's interest in signing Benjamin Pavard is part of the club's strategy to regain its strong presence on the trophy podium after a previous season that did not meet the aspirations of its fans. In another matter, Al-Ittihad is awaiting the coaching staff's stance on the possibility of signing Imam Ashour and Marwan Attia, the duo from Al Ahly, after the Egyptian club rejected offers of $6 million and $3.5 million respectively.
