Galatasaray Take Transfer Lead Over Newcastle, Tottenham for €35M-Rated PSG Veteran | OneFootball

Milan Škriniar’s role at Paris Saint-Germain seems to be diminishing, with manager Luis Enrique favoring Willian Pacho and Marquinhos as his first-choice center-back pairing.

This development has sparked fresh speculation about Škriniar’s future in Paris. The Slovakian defender, who resisted overtures from other clubs during the summer transfer window, could now be on the move as the January market approaches. According to CaughtOffside, PSG might be open to offers of around €35 million, with two Premier League clubs reportedly in the mix.

Newcastle United are closely monitoring Škriniar’s situation as they look to address uncertainties surrounding Jamaal Lascelles and Fabian Schär. The Magpies see the experienced defender as a smart, budget-friendly option to bolster their backline.

Tottenham are also said to be interested, viewing Škriniar as a dependable option to support their primary pairing of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero. However, negotiations could be complicated, as Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou reportedly sees Škriniar as more of a rotational piece than a regular starter.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday that Galatasaray have initiated talks with PSG over a loan deal for Škriniar, with the Turkish club awaiting his decision on his future.

Škriniar’s future at PSG is up in the air, with the Slovak defender expected to decide on his next move in the coming weeks. According to PSG Inside-Actus, his stint in Paris could soon be coming to an end.

Škriniar has struggled to secure a regular spot in Luis Enrique’s starting XI and hasn’t fully adapted to PSG’s setup. With interest from clubs like Galatasaray, a January departure now seems increasingly likely.

The defender reportedly favors a return to Serie A, but his potential destinations are wide-ranging. Juventus, Napoli, Bayern Munich, and Sporting Lisbon are all linked with the 29-year-old, alongside Premier League sides Everton and West Ham, as well as Al Nassr and other Saudi Arabian clubs.
