This season, Pavlovic has reinvented himself as one of the best attacking central defenders in Europe. Indeed, there are few players better at driving into areas of danger and making things happen, at least from a centre-back’s perspective.
Of course, given his figure, he is also an immense threat from set pieces. So, he is one of the most intriguing profiles on the mercato. However, it is unlikely that Milan will consider selling him in a few months.
Massimiliano Allegri adores the Serbian, who has improved drastically thanks to the Italian’s coaching. So a move away would have to be lucrative, imaginably.
Galatasaray’s renewed interest
According to a report from Takvim (via Fanatik), an outlet from Turkey, the Galatasaray management are still keen on the defender, and they will make contact with the Diavolo this summer, attempting to make a move happen.
Their last offer was a loan deal, with a €20 million buy clause, and it was rejected. So, this time around, they will probably have to offer much more. It is stated that they are willing to make ‘significant reinforcements’, but whether they will get close to the valuations that Milan have is another thing entirely.
As is the case with whether a sale would even be considered in the first place.
