Simone Inzaghi won’t need to do anything unusual to replace Benjamin Pavard, as Yann Aurel Bisseck was already regularly alternating with the injured teammate and showed steady improvements. The fallback options will be Matteo Darmian, as Tajon Buchanan is now fully available on the wing, and Stefan De Vrij. Francesco Acerbi won’t be out for long due to his latest thigh issue, Corriere dello Sport informed (via OneFootball).
The German talent has already starred in 13 matches this season, getting the call 8 times. Despite being tied to the Nerazzurri long-term, he recently obtained a renewal also to repel some burgeoning transfer market interest.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter turned down several loan proposals and a €25M bid from West Ham for Bisseck. They paid €7.2M to acquire him from Aarhus in 2022. He ended up in Denmark after flaming out in the Bundesliga and other championships.
The center-back is on the rise, and his valuation has swelled up to €40M after the recent turn of events. Bayern Munich are keeping tabs on him ahead of a potential future chase.
His growth has been manifest, but he’ll have to confirm it while being a regular, as he still has some lapses occasionally. Though, it’s been night and day for him lately compared to how his season started, which goes for their whole defense. He’s become a building block, although the temptation of a massive ‘plusvalenza’ might make its presence felt at some point down the line.
