Milan defender Pierre Kalulu emerges as potential replacement for Benjamin Pavard

With Bayern Munich defender Benjamin Pavard closing in on move to Inter, the Bundesliga giants have identified Milan centre-back Pierre Kalulu as a potential replacement for the French international.

Sky Sports reports, via FcInter1908, that the 23 year-old has emerged as an ideal candidate to replace the former Stuttgart defender as a result of his versatility to play both center-back and full-back within a back-line.

As it stands, both Bayern and Inter have agreed on a โ‚ฌ30m transfer fee plus add-ons for the the French defender to join the Nerazzurri and part ways with Tuchelโ€™s side after having spent four years at the Allianz.

Despite the Frenchman ready to pen to paper on a long-term deal with the Benemata, Bayern are holding back on sanctioning the move as they insist on securing a replacement prior to letting Pavard join the Milanese club.ย 

With the clock-ticking as very little time remains within the transfer market, the 27 year-old is frustrated with the move remaining at a stand-still, refusing to take part in training sessions with the Bundesliga outfits as as an attempt to force a move to Inter.

As Bayern have been forced to move quickly within the market, the European juggernauts are keeping their tabs open on the 23 year-old Rossonerri defender, whom has featured in 34 matches across all competitions last season.
