Manchester United is now prepared to attempt to sign AC Milan's 24-year-old defender, Strahinja Pavlović. The Serbian is also the subject of interest from other Premier League clubs, with Chelsea and Crystal Palace having been linked in recent days.

Milan's management reportedly wishes to keep the player, whom they consider a key part of their project and value at a minimum of €50 million, but a failure to qualify for the Champions League could complicate their efforts to retain him. Pavlović joined Milan in July 2024 and has a contract until 2028. The defender has 54 caps and 5 goals for Serbia and a current Transfermarkt market value of €35.00m.
