Before Strahinja Pavlovic had found himself at AC Milan, he was once courted by another Serie A side: Lazio. Now, five years on from their interest, an investigation is about to occur.
Since joining Milan, Pavlovic has been quite hit and miss. The Serbian was a bright light in a poor defence in the season’s opening, but since then it has been difficult for him to impress, and this has led to a fluctuation of minutes.
With that said though, against Slovan Bratislava and Sassuolo he showed signs closer to the season’s opening rather than games where he has had blunders.
The story about him today does not regard his performance against the Neroverdi, though. Instead, it involves his proposed move to Lazio in 2019. According to Calcio e Finanza, the FIGC are set to investigate comments allegedly made by Lazio Doctor Ivo Pulcini.
The doctor stated that the Serbian defender was not able to move to Serie A and Lazio due to some ‘cardiac abnormalities’, despite three tests but the results were all negative, and the defender stayed at Partizan rather than moving to Italy.
Now, prosecutor Giuseppe Chine has opened a file about the case, and he will hear Pulcini in the days to come.
So what’s the investigation about? The FIGC thinks this doc defrauded Lazio? Or Partizen? Somehow Milan will be ordered to pay a fine to Lazio of €45m because FIGC definitely isn’t a joke anymore
If Meloni was serious about cleaning up useless bureaucracy maybe start with the organization that killed calcio
What are you talking about, it has nothing to do with us. They are investigating the doctor.
There are a couple of potential angles. If the Lazio doctor got it wrong, it could be that Lazio owe damages to Partizan. If the Lazio doctor was right, and somehow testing isn’t picking up the issue, then the player is in danger and the doctor that DID give Pavlovic a green light to join Milan could then be in trouble. If there was a conspiracy to cover up the issue to allow the transfer to happen, the club could be in trouble too.
I agree with what you are saying Vero Rossonero but if he actually has a heart issue then a worse case scenario could potentially be that he would need a pacemaker and players isn’t allowed to play in Serie A with one which would mean that he would either have to be sold or released on a free transfer. An example of that is pretty recent in what happened for Inter in regard of Christian Eriksen who was released after his heartstroke at the Euros 21 and him then getting operated and got one himself.
Anyways I hope it’s obviously not the case here and that he is at good health.
It is FIGC that should be investigated. ,
