Pavlovic impressed Chelsea scouts with Milan performance
Fresh off a spectacular long-range goal, there are now reports Milan defender Strahinja Pavlovic is attracting interest from Chelsea.
The tall and powerful centre-back has made his mark at both ends of the field, because as well as being a defender, he has scored four goals and provided one assist in 26 Serie A games so far this season.
That included an extraordinary strike off the underside of the crossbar in Saturday’s 3-2 victory over Torino.
Pavlovic has flourished at Milan
The 24-year-old was a big investment from RB Salzburg in the summer of 2024, arriving for €18.5m plus bonuses.
According to Calciomercato, Pavlovic has caught the eye of Chelsea scouts, who believe he would be suited to the Premier League.
His contract runs to June 2028, although Milan do have an option to extend by another year.
The Serbia international has been compared to former Milan defender Jaap Stam for his playing style and physique.
Milan reportedly are in absolutely no rush to sell Pavlovic and would be prepared to resist the opening offer from Chelsea of circa €40m.
They are on track for Champions League qualification and that will further boost the Rossoneri coffers.
