Inter Milan players Pavard and Diouf impress in preseason

Inter Milan players Benjamin Pavard and Andy Diouf have emerged as key figures during the club's preseason preparations. Ahead of the match against Monza, coach Chivu praised Diouf's energy and intensity, noting that the former Lens player is proving to be a successful addition to the squad despite needing further tactical integration.

Benjamin Pavard has also regained significant standing within the team. Chivu highlighted Pavard's commitment and high-level performances during the tour, stating the defender has nothing left to prove. Reports suggest Pavard has also improved his relationship with the locker room compared to his previous period on loan at Marseille. His reintegration is reportedly a factor in the club's decision not to pursue Cristian Romero.

Additionally, midfielder Cristian Stankovic has expressed a strong desire to remain at Inter Milan. While Chivu remained cautious regarding market rumors, reports indicate that Stankovic is focused on working hard to earn his place and find success within the squad.
