According to Calciomercato, Chelsea is targeting AC Milan centre-back Strahinja Pavlovic as part of their plans for another summer reconstruction. The Blues are eager to support struggling boss Liam Rosenior; thus, it is anticipated that they will bolster the defence this summer.
Over the past few weeks, Chelsea’s performance has drastically declined, seriously endangering their chances of making it to the Champions League. For the first time in more than thirty years, Rosenior’s team has lost four straight games and only won one of their previous six Premier League games.
Wesley Fofana and Trevoh Chalobah are finding it difficult to hold opponents at bay, which has led to a significant decline in Chelsea’s performance. The club has already begun planning possible transfers ahead of another important summer window, although the English manager is not believed to be in danger of losing his position anytime soon. It’s interesting to note that they have a number of players on their radar, but it could take a big offer to entice Pavlovic away from Milan.

At Partizan, Pavlovic advanced through the ranks before AS Monaco called. After that, he played for the Ligue 1 team for two years, spending some of that time on loan at FC Basil and Cercle Brugge to further his career. Before moving to San Siro, he was later permanently signed by Red Bull Salzburg.
Reporter Nizaar Kinsella has provided an update on Rosenior’s future at Chelsea, according to BBC Sport: “There is no indication within Chelsea that Rosenior, who joined from partner club Strasbourg in January to replace Enzo Maresca, is in danger of losing his job, either now or at the end of the season.”
The club had anticipated that the Italian would stay until at least the summer, but he took over in the middle of the season from Maresca, who left after a falling out with the management. Rosenior, whose contract expires in 2032, has received so much support that he has participated actively in frequent transfer planning meetings with sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart.
