A report from England has claimed that Crystal Palace are ready to spend big on AC Milan defender Strahinja Pavlovic, who their head coach is a big admirer of.
According to The Sun, Palace boss Oliver Glasner wants to sign Pavlovic in a £25million (around €30m) deadline day deal. Glasner is ‘a huge fan of the powerful Serb’ but it is ‘an ambitious target’ given that he has been in the starting XI more recently.
Having joined from Red Bull Salzburg last summer it has been a rollercoaster season already in terms of performance levels and game time, but there has definitely been a recent upturn with some battling performances.
Glasner wants competition at the back and also ‘has one eye on a long-term replacement for Marc Guehi’, who keeps being linked with an exit. Milan are expected to hold out for a fee of around €42m, which is why the London club have Tiago Djalo an alternative if Pavlovic is too expensive.
Pavlovic has already been linked with a number of different clubs during the winter window, starting with Fenerbahce and then continuing with their big rivals Galatasaray, and most recently even Atalanta were mentioned as being keen on him.
80M and we can have a conversation
Pavlović is a beast!Aftwr hundreds of years ACM has well possesed back line.To give pavlović away would be a —desaster!
Just..NO
Selling him on deadline day with no worthy replacement lined up is suicide. Go the whole spring with 3 injury prone CBs? Jiiikes
My dear God!!! NO
Should be Pavlo’s 70M while Tomori’s 30M, then we can buy Van Dijk, Varane, Alaba, German Pezzella, or Acerbi. Many options for high quality defenders
Both he and Timori have started to show the Milan flare and you want to rid them?
Tomori has had one good game all season. Go and watch the Juve game then say you want him to stay.
I know but he is presently in an enabling situation and he is surely trying to dig himself out of the hole that he has been in!
Very unlikely to happen, Conceicao has leaned on him since he came in, so the coach will most definitely not green light this. Rumours as usual.
I strongly believe with Walker in there, Pavlo and Malick will only improve!
Damn EPL clubs. I can’t wait for the window to shut. It’s a shame they don’t want Chuck, RLC or Musah.
Leave Pavlo alone.
2 weeks ago we were willing to sell him for 18M and after a few games he is worth 42M??? LOL
These stories are crazy
