July 31, (THEWILL) – AC Milan have bolstered their defence line with the signing of Serbian international Strahinja Pavlovic from RB Salzburg, both clubs confirmed on Wednesday.
The 23-year-old centre-back has agreed to a four-year contract with the Italian giants, marking a significant move in the summer transfer window.
Pavlovic, who was a key player for RB Salzburg last season, also represented Serbia in all three matches during the recent European Championship. While the exact financial details of the transfer were not disclosed, Italian media sources suggest that Milan paid approximately €18 million for the talented defender.
The acquisition of Pavlovic is part of Milan’s strategy under new manager Paulo Fonseca, who is preparing the team for the upcoming Serie A campaign. This signing follows the recent addition of Spanish striker Alvaro Morata, indicating Milan’s intent to strengthen their squad across multiple positions.
In a separate development, Milan also announced the departure of midfielder Daniel Maldini to Monza on a permanent basis. Maldini, son of former club captain Paolo Maldini, leaves the Rossoneri to pursue new opportunities with the Serie A rivals.
These transfers highlight AC Milan’s active approach in the transfer market, balancing incoming talent with outgoing players. The club’s management will be hoping that these moves contribute to a successful 2024/2025 season under Fonseca’s leadership.
