Milan are intensifying efforts to secure the services of Serbian defender Strahinja Pavlovic, currently playing for Red Bull Salzburg. As one of the few Serie A teams yet to officially announce any new signings this transfer window, Milan are carefully evaluating market opportunities, with Pavlovic emerging as a prime target for their defensive reinforcement.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the 23-year-old center-back has caught the attention of Milan’s sporting directors Giorgio Furlani and Geoffrey Moncada, who view him as a promising addition to the squad. Pavlovic’s performances in recent European competitions have particularly impressed the Rossoneri management.
Milan’s strategy involves reaching an agreement with the player before approaching Red Bull Salzburg for transfer negotiations. The club is currently in talks with Pavlovic’s representatives to discuss personal terms[4]. However, they face competition from Newcastle United, who have also expressed interest in the Serbian defender.
Red Bull Salzburg is reportedly demanding a fee of €20 million for Pavlovic’s transfer. This valuation reflects the player’s strong performances last season, where he made 37 appearances across all competitions, showcasing his defensive prowess while also contributing 4 goals and 3 assists.
As negotiations progress, Milan hopes to strengthen their backline with Pavlovic, who could potentially partner with Jan-Carlo Simic in the heart of defence. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether the Rossoneri can secure this promising talent and bolster their squad for the upcoming season.
