Salzburger Nachrichten: Pavlovic ‘on the verge’ of Milan move after negotiation | OneFootball

It could be a London bus-like summer for AC Milan. In the first two weeks, there were no arrivals, but now, there could be two completed within a week, and it seems this could be close to fruition.

There has been a need to add to the defence for six months, and it seems that demand will be fulfilled shortly and Milan will sign their primary target – Strahinja Pavlovic. The Serbian defender quickly became the Rossoneri’s favoured candidate, and things have moved fast.

Unfortunately, it has not been the smoothest sail, but of course, it is the mercato, so that cannot be expected.

Pavlovic gave his confirmation to the Diavolo in the early stages, and a drafted contract was settled fairly quickly, but when Milan made their approach to RB Salzburg with a bid, the Austrian club asked for a higher fee, with a figure of €30 million in mind.

For the Rossoneri, a fee closer to €20m was the goal, but a report from Salzburger Nachrichten has suggested a middle ground, quite literally, has been found. As the report suggests, the defender is ‘on the verge’ of a move, with the clubs set to agree on a €25m price including bonuses.
