The gap between Milan and Salzburg for the transfer of Strahinja Pavlovic has narrowed significantly, with only a few million euros separating the two clubs. The two clubs have been in talks for several weeks over a potential transfer, with the Rossoneri having already agreed a contract with the Serbian defender.
Calciomercato report that despite the positive steps, caution is advised until the paperwork is signed, as unexpected changes can occur in the coming weeks. The towering Serbian defender has rejected a move to Atletico Madrid and is eagerly awaiting a transfer to the Rossoneri.
Pavlovic, known for his imposing presence and left-footed play, has the qualities Milan’s defensc lacks. His impressive performance against Salzburg in the 2022 Champions League caught Milan’s attention, and his name, along with Noah Okafor’s, was noted by the club’s scouts. Now, Pavlovic hopes to join Okafor at Milan. The agreement with Milan is comprehensive, with a five-year contract worth €1.5 million net per season ready for the player.
Recent negotiations have brought Milan close to an agreement with Salzburg for Pavlovic. The current difference is around €2-3 million from Milan’s latest offer of €18 million, which could be bridged with bonuses. The agent fees for Pavlovic are estimated to be around €3 million.
