Since the beginning of the summer, Milan has been linked to a number of different center backs in an attempt to strengthen their defense, which struggled the previous season and lost Simon Kjaer when his contract expired.
It did not take long to realize that Pavlovic was the preferred name. The 23-year-old made an impression while in Austria and started for Serbia at the European Championship.
The most recent from Fabrizio Romano states that Pavlović has reached the position of “here we go!” for Milan. Serbian center defender Nikola Paunović has finally agreed to join from Salzburg as the second summer reinforcement.
The player “strongly wanted” to join the Rossoneri, and a long-term contract was reached with him a few days ago. The package’s transfer cost will exceed €18 million; further information will be released shortly.
