According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Red Bull Salzburg defender Strahinja Pavlovic is an option for Milan if Malick Thiaw joins Newcastle.

Milan are interested in 23-year-old defender Pavlovic and could make an offer to his club Salzburg if Thiaw joins Newcastle, reports La Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Rossoneri conceded 69 goals across all competitions last season, but signing a new centre-back is still not a priority for the Serie A giants, who suffered several injuries in the defensive department in 2023-24.

This is why, according to Gazzetta, Pavlovic is still just ‘an idea’ for the Diavoli, who have recently received an inquiry from Newcastle for Thiaw.

If the German centre-back leaves, then Pavlovic will be considered as a potential reinforcement for the Rossoneri.

A Serbia international, Pavlovic joined RB Salzburg from Monaco in 2022 for just €7m and his current price tag is believed to be around €20m.

According to the report, he was on the verge of joining Lazio last summer, but the deal collapsed when the defender failed to pass his medical.

Gazzetta confirms that Milan are also interested in Alvaro Morata for the attacking department, but the Spanish striker will only decide on his future after the Euros.
