SM: Agent arrives amid new enquiries – Milan’s stance on Pavlovic exit outlined | OneFootball

The agent of Strahinja Pavlovic arrived at Casa Milan for a meeting with the AC Milan management on Thursday afternoon, and the club’s stance has emerged.

It has been a whirlwind last few days for Pavlovic, starting with rumours of concrete interest from Fenerbahce and an offer worth over €20m, when factoring in the loan fee and the obligation to buy.

The Rossoneri management had apparently reached an advanced stage in the negotiations, before receiving a refusal from the Serbian centre-back, eager to continue his experience at Milan and play for a spot in the team.

Pavlovic was then in the starting line-up against Girona last night and he played an attentive game against the LaLiga side, helping secure a first clean sheet since Sergio Conceicao took over.

Despite the above, Pavlovic’s future is not 100% certain to be at Milan. According to what has been learned by our correspondent Luca Maninetti, the agent of the former Red Bull Salzburg man has arrived to meet the directors.

Milan’s stance is clear: they will only accept a permanent deal for Pavlovic and an offer over €15m at present. It remains to be seen if the management will open to the idea of a loan with obligation to buy, otherwise he will remain at the club.

It is believed that new enquiries have come from other clubs abroad, with Stuttgart in the Bundesliga mentioned by numerous sources and also Leicester City in the Premier League.

Given that the 23-year-old only started last night due to Malick Thiaw’s injury and Fikayo Tomori’s suspension, it might not be the case that the exit door is fully closed despite a good performance.
