AC Milan appear to be making ground in their pursuit of Strahinja Pavlović as he has made it clear to Red Bull Salzburg that he wants to join.
Milan went into the summer transfer window looking for a new central defender after Simon Kjaer’s exit and after links with various targets it became apparent that Pavlovic is the man that they are pushing for.
The 23-year-old is young, has the potential to grow, had an impressive European Championship with Serbia despite their early exit, is left-footed and is physically a monster. In short, there is a lot to like and he ticks plenty of boxes.
According to the latest from Fabrizio Romano, Pavlovic ‘has been clear with Salzburg’ and has told them that he ‘wants AC Milan move’. Personal terms were agreed last week between the Rossoneri and the defender.
Romano adds that the Serbia international is ‘ready for new chapter in Italy’ and that ‘negotiations are underway between the two clubs’ with the hope of finding an agreement soon. The coming days could see the deal closed, therefore.
As a reminder, the Salzburger Nachrichten are reporting that the former Monaco man is ‘on the verge’ of a move, with the clubs set to agree on a €25m price including bonuses.
