The news emerged after yesterday’s 2-0 win against Lecce that Benjamin Pavard was not only at San Siro to watch the game but he also visited the AC Milan dressing room.

As Calciomercato.com report, at the full-time whistle Pavard and his team-mates Lucas Hernandez – Theo’s brother – came down to the changing room to say hello to the team, which has given rise to some mercato rumours again.
After four years at Bayern and a cabinet full of trophies, Pavard is looking for a new project as he admitted in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport: ” I’m available to evaluate new interesting projects.”
If Milan were to really make an attempt for the French defender then it seems they can play the Olivier Giroud card in their favour, as Pavard admitted to being close to him.
“Giroud always tells me about the magic of the derbies and the big fan celebration for the Scudetto. I’d really like to play with him because we’re very good friends, Serie A is a very interesting league,” he said.
It could be said that Pavard has already sent a nudge of sorts to Milan, and he would join the Rossoneri on one condition: he wants to be a centre-back. However, in that role Milan already have Fikayo Tomori, Malick Thiaw, Matteo Gabbia, Simon Kjaer and Pierre Kalulu.
That means there are in theory five players fighting for for two spots, and at the moment the only one that could leave is Gabbia to play continuously. Pavard however remains at the window, with a visit to Milan that could be a precursor.
