From Turkey: Galatasaray reignite interest in signing Milan centre-back

After being linked with a move in the winter transfer window, Galatasaray have come back in for Strahinja Pavlovic.

Pavlovic was linked with a potential exit since the start of the January mercato when he was barely getting any playing time under the new head coach Sergio Conceicao, having struggled for game time under Paulo Fonseca too. Galatasaray apparently asked for him in talks over Alvaro Morata.

Galatasaray back in for Pavlovic

According to journalist Kagan Dursun, the name of Strahinja Pavlovic has come up again for Galatasaray, having been mentioned as a target a few months ago. At the moment, there are no negotiations underway, but the player’s willingness is being assessed.

Dursun writes that if the player were to be open to a transfer to Turkey, he would become Galatasaray’s top transfer target for the centre-back position. At present, Pavlovic’s desire is unknown, but he has not been suggested as a sale candidate in the same way Malick Thiaw has been.

The Serbia international arrived 12 months ago from Red Bull Salzburg after an exhausting negotiation. He played 35 games across all competitions in his first season with the Rossoneri, registering two goals and two assists.
