"France international Benjamin Pavard has returned to his home country to join Marseille, with Roberto De Zerbi's side also landing Matt O'Riley and Nayef Aguerd in a triple swoop. De Zerbi's second campaign at the helm has started poorly, with Marseille losing two of their first three games of a Ligue 1 season for the first time since 2015-16. But last season's runners-up moved to strengthen ahead of Monday's transfer deadline, getting three deals over the line."
"Pavard is the most high-profile, having arrived on loan from Inter with an option for Marseille to make the deal permanent next year, reportedly for a fee of €15m. Pavard rose through the ranks at Lille before leaving for Stuttgart in 2016, spending three years at MHP Arena before joining Bayern Munich. He helped Bayern win four successive Bundesliga titles and the Champions League in 2019-20 before switching to Inter, winning Serie A in 2023-24 and finishing as a runner-up in UEFA's premier club competition last season."

The club also completed deals for Matt O'Riley and Nayef Aguerd, forming a triple late-window reinforcement. Roberto De Zerbi's side lost two of their first three Ligue 1 matches, marking their worst start since 2015-16, prompting urgent strengthening before the Monday deadline. Pavard progressed from Lille to Stuttgart in 2016, spent three years at MHP Arena, then joined Bayern Munich. He won four consecutive Bundesliga titles and the 2019-20 Champions League, later winning Serie A with Inter in 2023-24.
