Non-EU status could force Juventus to wait until the summer to sign defenderJuvefc.com

Juventus are keen to sign Serbian centre-back Strahinja Pavlović as they rebuild their squad.

He lost Matthijs de Ligt and Giorgio Chiellini in the last transfer window and strengthened his group with Gleison Bremer.

However, they may need more men in that position to improve things and Pavlovic is on their radar.

The defender has thrived at RB Salzburg. However, it is only a matter of time before he moves to a bigger club.

But Juve cannot sign him in the January transfer market, according to Tuttomercatoweb.

The report reveals that they have filled their places outside the EU and will have to make room for him to join.

That can only happen in the summer when they have got rid of some non-European players.

Juve FC says

We have the defenders that can carry us this season, so we can hold off Pavlovic’s addition to our team for now.

The defender will continue to develop at Salzburg, but it might be smarter if we add him to our squad now and allow him to stay on loan at his current club until the summer.

At 21, he still has time on his side and could become the ideal replacement for De Ligt.
