GdS: Pavlovic communicates desire to join Milan with price tag set – the latest | OneFootball

Strahinja Pavlovic has communicated his desire to join AC Milan this summer to RB Salzburg, who are now gearing up for a sale. According to today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport, the negotiations are indeed very advanced.

After seemingly abandoning the right-back pursuit, with Pierre Kalulu likely to play there this upcoming season, Milan has focused a lot on signing a centre-back. Talks have been ongoing with Pavlovic’s entourage and agreement seems to be getting closer.

According to the pink newspaper (see photo below), Pavlovic has told RB Salzburg that he wants to be sold and would like to join Milan this summer. A contract worth €1.5m per year, compared to his current salary of €700k, is ready and the player is eager to make it happen.

Milan are more optimistic than ever, having received ‘an assist’ from the player, and negotiations with Salzburg will now continue. The initial price tag was €30m but given the lack of offers from the Premier League and Saudi Arabia, the Austrian side have been forced to reconsider.

The Rossoneri have already made it known that they are willing to raise their offer, though without exaggerating. As such, it’s believed that the deal could close at around €20m including a couple of million in bonuses.
