Chelsea want to bring AC Milan’s Strahinja Pavlovic to the Premier League in the summer.
The centre-back’s development has caught Chelsea’s attention, and the Blues are ready to make a concerted effort.
Pavlović graduated from Partizan Belgrade’s youth system and made his first-team debut in 2019.
He spent one year there and moved to AS Monaco in 2020 before leaving them for Red Bull Austria in 2022. The Austrian side then sold him to Milan for €18m in August 2024.
The Serbia international played 1,864 minutes in 24 league matches for the Serie A team last season. His status has improved this season as he has played 2,150 minutes in 26 matches, scoring four goals and one assist.
To give an idea, below are the defender’s league statistics per game this season.

The 24-year-old’s performances for the Rossoneri have caught the attention of Chelsea calciomercato.it Now cover the latest.
Chelsea ready for solid progress
Earlier in the season, Sport Witness Covered claims from Italy Chelsea, Arsenal and Barcelona are monitoring him. The source indicated that Milan’s asking price could be around €60-70m.
Fast forward to March and calciomercato.it now covers Liam Rosenior’s keen interest in the central defender.
After a mixed debut season at the San Siro under Paulo Fonseca and Sergio Conceicao, the player has established himself as a key player for Massimiliano Allegri this season.
This comes at a cost as Milan have to be wary of the interest of Club World Cup winners.
calciomercato.it report ‘a big offer from Chelsea’ as they are willing to pay around €40m for the former Monaco man.
The quoted fee allows Allegri’s side to make ‘significant capital gains’ in the summer, but they appear unwilling to sell him. Therefore, the west London club will have to convince Milan to give them the chance to obtain the signature of Strahinja Pavlovic.
Serbian contract, price and agent information
The Rossoneri gave him a contract until 2028 with the option of a further year. He is now valued at €28m transfer marketHighest so far in his career. Such valuations are often below real value, and AC Milan are likely to demand more.
