Bayern Munich chief exec Jan-Christian Dreesen has paid tribute to Benjamin Pavard.

The France defender left for Inter Milan yesterday.

Dreesen said: "Thank you Benji! We want to thank you for four successful years. Not only in the year of six titles, he was an important part of the team especially as a match-winner in the Monfiale per Club final.

"We respect his desire for a new challenge and for this reason we have accepted his transfer to Inter.

"We wish him the best and many successes for his future in Serie A."
