Milan Agree Long-Term Extension With Strahinja Pavlović
Securing Pavlović preserves Milan's defensive continuity through a longer deal that includes a significant pay rise to deter outside interest.
Overview
- Reports on Tuesday, October 13, 2026 say Pavlović has agreed to extend his AC Milan contract until the summer of 2031 and was at Casa Milan to complete signing formalities.
- Multiple outlets report the new deal raises Pavlović’s pay to roughly €3 million net per year, up from his current salary, while his existing contract was due to expire in 2028.
- Pavlović joined Milan from RB Salzburg in summer 2024 for a reported €18 million plus add-ons and has since made about 80 appearances with seven goals and four assists.
- He has become a defensive regular, playing every minute of the 2026–27 season so far under coach Ruben Amorim, a progression that has increased his value to the first team.
- The extension fits Milan’s wider strategy of using multi‑year deals to keep key players in place and reduce transfer speculation, though the club has not yet issued an official announcement.
