Strahinja Pavlovic has Premier League suitors hovering. RB Salzburg stands to make a tidy profit if they decide to sell him. Several clubs are keen in signing the Serbian defender, including Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United. Being a coveted commodity on the transfer market, Pavlovic has made an impression with RB Salzburg and won a starting position for Serbia at the Euros.
Pavlovic might be sold by RB Salzburg for about £25 million, according to the club’s reputation for savvy transactions. Selling him for the same amount as the £6 million he cost the club when they signed him from Monaco would be a huge financial gain. Unai Emery’s Aston Villa are on the market for a new center back and have been considering Pavlovic as a possible replacement for Clement Lenglet, who departed the club at season’s end. Even if Pau Torres is still their first pick, Pavlovic is a formidable challenger.
Chelsea Are In The Race To Sign The £40m RB Salzburg Player
Pavlovic is also being considered by Chelsea, who are looking to add a left-sided center-back to their roster. Since Arsenal is almost certainly going to sign Italian Riccardo Calafiori, Pavlovic has emerged as a more appealing alternative. With a price tag of £25 million, he is in line with Chelsea’s policy of signing young, talented players with the hope that they can develop inside the club’s system.
Pavlovic is also of interest to Newcastle United. They are still considering signing another left-footed center-back, particularly in the event that Sven Botman’s recovery is postponed, even though they have signed free agent Lloyd Kelly. Pavlovic is being sought after by Wolves, who are in need of defensive reinforcements and may soon lose Max Kilman to West Ham for £40 million.
It will be important for the defense to thoroughly consider his alternatives this summer since he has much to choose from. Whatever Pavlovic wants out of his next move will determine which club he signs with. The fact that RB Salzburg will be able to sell him for a nice profit shows how good they are at making money.

When the summer transfer market opens, Manchester United will get Joshua Zirkzee instead of Arsenal. Both Premier League heavyweights are interested in the Bologna striker, who has a release clause of £34 million. Zirkzee would rather join Manchester United, however.
Zirkzee has become one of Serie A’s top young players since jumping ship from Bayern Munich to Bologna in August 2022. He had a rough go of it at Bayern, but he’s been spectacular for Bologna. The 23-year-old Dutchman had a solid season last year, making 37 appearances across all competitions and scoring 12 goals with seven assists.
Other prominent European teams have taken notice of Zirkzee’s development. Both Manchester United and Arsenal are keen in acquiring his services in anticipation of his impending transfer to the Premier League. But Zirkzee seemed intent on playing for Manchester United. Both clubs find him appealing because of the £34 million release clause in his contract.
