Crystal Palace made a surprise offer of around 28 million euros for Pavlovic. Ibrahimovic and Conceicao were not convinced, leading Milan to reject the offer, leaving Crystal Palace surprised.

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner is reportedly interested in signing AC Milan centre-half Strahinja Pavlovic for a £25 million deadline transfer. Pavlovic, aged 23, has been a consistent presence in Milan's Serie A and Champions League matches since his transfer from RB Salzburg last summer. While Milan might hold out for a £35 million fee, Crystal Palace is prepared to make a substantial offer, as they aim to strengthen their defense after losing Trevoh Chalobah and due to an injury to Chadi Riad. Glasner is considering Pavlovic to provide both competition in defense and as a potential long-term successor to Marc Guehi.
