Strahinja Pavlović, born on 24 May 2001 (age 25), is a Serbia international central defender with AC Milan. A commanding 6ft 4in (1.94m) presence, he is the sort of centre-half whose physical profile is hard to miss, though that alone tends to buy less patience at the top end of Serie A than it does elsewhere.
His strongest league return came with Milan in 2025-2026, when he scored five goals in 34 appearances. For a defender, that was a useful contribution rather than a curiosity, and it gave a bit of substance to a player already valued at around £34m by Transfermarkt.
In 2026-2027, Pavlović has made seven appearances for AC Milan across all competitions, including five in Serie A, one in the Supercoppa and one in the Europa League. He has also remained involved with Serbia, with eight appearances in World Cup qualifying and four in the Nations League.
Pavlović’s career, as it stands, is that of an established Serbian defender operating at a high club level with Milan while carrying regular international responsibility. The profile is clear: tall, direct, and already well tested.
