Crystal Palace is looking to improve its defense forces by signing AC Milan defender Strahinja Pavlovic.
Serbia International has been on the radar of Premier League clubs for a while, and he is a long-term target for them. According to a report from Sky Sports, they want to complete the transaction in just two hours left in the transfer window.
They had been linked to Pavlovich a few months ago.
The palace must replace Guehi
Marc Guehi is scheduled to leave the club this summer and is currently receiving medical care with Liverpool. They need to properly replace the club’s captains, and Pavlovic could prove to be a quality addition.
The 24-year-old is highly regarded throughout Europe and has the quality to thrive in the Premier League. It will be interesting to see if Crystal Palace can convince AC Milan to sell the players. Italian outfits may not be very keen to leave players at the window stage.
They wanted to bring their own defensive reinforcements. They wanted to sign Joe Gomez from Liverpool, but the Reds decided to keep him at the club. It is still unknown how the situation will develop.
Strahinja Pavlovic may enjoy the movement
The opportunity to move into the Premier League is extremely exciting for Serbs. He is a young player with a bright future, and British regular football was able to accelerate his development. It helps him to fulfill his potential. He will work with top managers like Oliver Glasner.
Crystal Palace has financial muscles that provide players with a significant amount of money. It is still unknown if AC Milan is trying to sell him.
