AC Milan want to bolster their defence by signing Strahinja Pavlovic and they are set to raise their bid for him, according to a report.
This morning’s edition of Corriere dello Sport (via PianetaMilan) claims that the Milan management will try to get closer to the economic demands of Red Bull Salzburg by raising their offer after the previous attempt.
Salzburg are asking for €25m to let Pavlovic leave while the Rossoneri would like a bit of a discount on that, especially because they already have a verbal agreement with the player over personal terms.
The 23-year-old has given the green light to a contract with Milan until June 2029, with a salary of €1.5m net per season. He is seen as an ideal reinforcement for Paulo Fonseca’s side, above all to help with set pieces because of his size.
He is also left-footed central defender – a rare commodity missing from the current squad – as well as being young but with notable experience in the Champions League with RB Salzburg.
Not only that, but he was a starter at the last World Cup in Qatar and the most recent European Championship that his just finished in Germany with Serbia, so he has plenty of experience.
