Tottenham Receive Major Transfer Boost as PSG Flop Unlikely to Make Serie A Return | OneFootball

Milan Skriniar’s time at Paris Saint-Germain is likely coming to an end after the former Inter Milan defender joined Fenerbahçe SK on loan for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign.

Skriniar, 30, arrived at PSG as a free agent after his contract with Inter Milan expired and is now under contract with the Ligue 1 champions through 2028.

Although Skriniar was a regular starter last year, he began falling out of favor with coach Luis Enrique. After making 37 appearances in the previous campaign, he was no longer part of Enrique’s plans this term.

His loan to Fenerbahçe does not include an option for a permanent transfer, and PSG are expected to sell him in the summer. Recently, Tottenham have reportedly added Milan Skriniar to their list of potential defensive targets, according to Fichajes.

With questions surrounding Cristian Romero’s future, the club is in the market for a reliable, experienced option at the back. Skriniar’s track record in Serie A and the Champions League makes him an intriguing fit for Spurs.

Skriniar is discovering the downside of being a free agent after signing with PSG. Attracted by Paris’ dream salary conditions, the Slovak defender finds himself in a complicated situation two years later. On the market, it is nearly impossible for him to find a club capable of matching his salary.

In an interview with Sport24Sk, Skriniar’s agent, Martin Petras, did not hide the difficulties his player is facing (h/t Foot Parisian):

“Skriniar made a name for himself in Italy, and for that reason, he is still in the minds of the top Serie A clubs. However, I think his move to AC Milan or another Italian club is unlikely.”

“Milan has a colossal salary, and in Italy, they will probably not be able to afford it with the taxes and contributions. With all these expenses, they would almost have to double it and pay him nearly 20 million euros per year. In my opinion, not just anyone in Serie A would pay that today.”
