All three Premier League giants are reportedly tracking AC Milan centre back Strahinja Pavlovic ahead of a potential £56 million transfer in 2027.
Journalist Ekrem Konur has reported that Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are all considering moves for the Serbian international defender.
The trio are each competing across four competitions this season, placing enormous pressure on their respective squads, particularly in central defence.
Arsenal are facing a significant challenge after William Saliba suffered an indefinite injury, with Jurrien Timber also currently sidelined and unavailable for selection.
Liverpool have their own concerns at the back, with a well-documented lack of depth and experience in their defensive line posing problems throughout the campaign.
Manchester United similarly remain without a settled central defensive partnership, making reinforcements an obvious priority heading into the January and summer windows.
Pavlovic has developed impressively during his time with AC Milan, thriving in Serie A and entering what should be the best years of his career at 25 years old.
His aerial ability, physical presence in duels, composure in possession, and strong defensive understanding make him a natural fit for the demands of Premier League football.
Liverpool may view him as a long-term replacement for Virgil van Dijk, while Manchester United could see him as an experienced option to complement an ageing Harry Maguire.
Arsenal, despite their interest, may hesitate to commit £56 million given their existing defensive options and the expected return of Saliba to full fitness by 2027.
Both Liverpool and Manchester United carry the financial muscle to complete such a deal and could offer Pavlovic an attractive contract to seal a move to England.
Champions League qualification is likely to play a decisive role in Pavlovic’s thinking, should he ultimately decide to leave the Rossoneri for a new challenge.
