Milan confident about signing Salzburg’s Strahinja Pavlovic | OneFootball

Serie A side Milan expect to close a deal with Salzburg for Strahinja Pavlovic soon.

According to a report by Luca Bianchin via La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan are working with Salzburg to reach an agreement around the figure of €20-22 million for Strahinja Pavlovic.

After landing the signature of Alvaro Morata, the Rossoneri fans are awaiting another arrival news next week as there is growing optimism amongst the club scouts surrounding Pavlovic.

The Serbian defender could bring certain characteristics which are currently absent in the Milan squad. With a tough physique, the 23-year-old is a menacing presence in defence while providing Paulo Fonseca the option of diversification as per needs.

Pavlovic’s contract with Salzburg expires in 2027 and Milan will aim to agree on the same salary with him which is €700 thousand per season. He revealed to his international teammates Dusan Vlahovic and Nemanja Radonjic that he was one step away from joining Lazio a few years back but the deal was off as he did not pass the medicals.
