The Blaugrana club has controlled Inter’s central defender for several seasons
Skriniar has an offer from PSG and a renewal offer from the ‘nerazzurri’
Milan Skriniar, central defender of Inter, is one of the footballers that Barça has been closely monitoring for a couple of seasons, although he has been following him for much longer. In recent months, interest has intensified to the point of going to his agent to learn about his plans and sound out his signing for next season, when he would be free. The response from the player has not been entirely satisfactory.
As is known, PSG are pushing very hard to get the ‘Nerazzurri’ central defender, to the point that they are willing to take him to Paris during the next winter market: In any case, it does not seem that this is going to happen because, despite Given that the player only has one year left on his contract and Inter could enter a transfer before he was released, Skriniar is very comfortable in Milan and does not want his departure to take place in the middle of the season.
What Barça already knows is that the player has rejected the possibility of playing at the Camp Nou and that, in addition to PSG, the door is also wide open to a possible renewal with the Italians.
In fact, the situation has changed since Inzaghi’s men qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League because staying in the competition was a vital argument to retain the player in winter. In addition, the economic situation of the club improves and it can offer an improvement in the renewal offer that it already had on the table. All this, unique to how comfortable it is in the Lombard capital, allows Inter to be optimistic. This yes, without forgetting of the threat of the PSG.
The one who has already thrown in the towel because he has no other choice is the Barça sports management, who knows first-hand that the player will not play for Blaugrana and that his plans go through Inter or PSG. No chance of her changing her mind. The player appreciates the interest, but rules out the Camp Nou.
