Leicester City have taken the first step by enquiring about AC Milan defender Strahinja Pavlovic, whom they signed for £15m in the summer.
Leicester City are finally taking some action in the January transfer window. For a long period of time, it was up in the air about whether they could afford to make any signings. However, recent cash injections from various different avenues have meant that the Foxes can finally be active.
As far as Leicester are concerned, there is no better place to start than the defence. This season, they have conceded 48 Premier League goals. This is a woeful record, since only Wolves and Southampton have conceded more.
Of course, many of Leicester'c conceded goals could have been prevented through having a football IQ above the age of 10. If you couldn't guess who I'm hinting at, it's James Justin, who has been a complete defensive liability all season.
Nevertheless, the other Leicester defenders haven't exactly covered themselves in glory either. Therefore, the back-line should definitely be where Ruud van Nistelrooy focuses his attention for the remainder of this month.
Leicester City take the first step to signing £15m AC Milan defender
According to a report from Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, Leicester City have enquired about the services of Strahinja Pavlovic of AC Milan. However, they are not alone, as Stuttgart are also in the same stage of the race for the Serbia defender.
Strahinja Pavlovic is a centre back, who ages at just 23 years old. Therefore, he would be a signing with the future in mind at the King Power Stadium. He clearly has the ability to play for a top European club, as AC Milan invested £15m in him from RB Salzburg in the summer.
Nevertheless, Pavlovic is unhappy at AC Milan. This is due to seeing a gradual reduction in his minutes. Thereofore, it would be worthwhile for all parties if he left the historic Italian club before the end of the month.
As far as Leicester are concerned, they would happily take the Serbia international off Milan's hands. Let's just see if the Foxes progress to the next stage, which would traditionally be club negotiations.
