In the post-match after AC Milan's victory over Lecce, as reported by DAZN, Lucas Hernandez, Theo's brother, and Benjamin Pavard, both players for Bayern Munich and national teammates, as well as teammates of Theo, Olivier Giroud, and Mike Maignan, visited the Rossoneri dressing room, where they were welcomed by their compatriots Pioli's entire team.
It is not news that the Rossoneri team has a substantial number of French and francophone players, but Pavard's presence is interesting for some possible market developments. The Bayern Munich defender is very close to Olivier Giroud - in fact, they are often seen together in social media posts, especially during the Bleus' training camps - and in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport on November 15, 2022, he said: "Is Giroud trying to convince me to move to Milan? (laughs) Olivier always tells me that Italy is a country that lives one hundred percent of football. He told me about the magic of derbies, the great celebration of fans for the Scudetto. I would love to play with him also because he is a great friend. We'll see." Pavard's link with Milan also has a romantic touch: "My idol is Lilian Thuram, a center-back in the club, a full-back in the national team. I like Thiago Silva, always at the top despite his age. I have always admired Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Nesta, Giorgio Chiellini."
The contract of defeder with Bayern Munich expires in June 2024 and, as stated by the player himself to Telefoot, "at the moment, there are no ongoing talks with the club, we are focused on our seasonal goals. I am trying to play my best football, to win trophies. We'll see about the rest this summer."
AC Milan could certainly be interested in how the situation evolves: Pavard is a player of absolute level, has already won a lot in his career, can play both as a right-back and as a central defender, would have an affordable cost and an age in line with the parameters of the Rossoneri club. And, above all, in Milan, he could reunite with many friends and play with them at the San Siro.
