Saudi Arabian clubs were eyeing the Inter star, but he refused

Saudi Arabian clubs continue to be active in the transfer market, searching for new players. They have already made a high-profile signing this summer, with Al-Qadisiyah agreeing to a contract with Real Madrid captain Nacho Fernández.

However, they are not stopping there, as several Pro League clubs have shown interest in Inter defender Benjamin Pavard. Despite reaching out to the Frenchman's agents, their attempts to initiate negotiations have been unsuccessful. According to reports by Fabrizio Romano, Pavard himself has decided to reject the advances of the Saudi clubs, as he does not wish to move to the Middle East.

Benjamin Pavard has spent just one season with Inter, making 31 appearances and winning the Italian championship. Previously, the Frenchman played for Bayern Munich, joining them from Stuttgart in 2019. He began his career at French club Lille, which he left in 2016.

It is worth noting that Pavard is not the first player to turn down offers from Saudi Arabian clubs. Barcelona forward Raphinha also made a similar decision earlier.
