AC Milan are intent on giving Paulo Fonseca two new defenders as soon as possible, with steps being made to sign Strahinja Pavlovic and Emerson Royal.
As reported by Milan News, the Rossoneri want to seal the deals for Pavlovic from Red Bull Salzburg and Emerson from Tottenham Hotspur as soon as they can so as to appease Fonseca.
With the start of the 2024/25 Serie A season fast approaching, Milan are aware that Fonseca needs some time to work with his new signings rather than suddenly having an influx of new players after the opening game against Torino on August 17.
The two players that Milan have been in the most concrete discussions for so far are Pavlovic and Emerson and there is a belief that the deals can be done quickly.
The two players have been pushing for moves to Milan but there are gaps in valuation between the clubs that need to be closed first.
The gap for Emerson is around €10m which means some proper negotiation needs to take place if the Rossoneri are to sign him. There is less of a distance with Red Bull Salzburg for Pavlovic and he could be the next man through the door after Alvaro Morata.
