Aston Villa, Tottenham Encouraged as Napoli Rejects €35M-Rated PSG Outcast in Transfer Deal | 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 renewed speculation about Škriniar’s future. The Slovakian defender, who rejected offers from other clubs during the summer transfer window, might now be on the move as January approaches.

CaughtOffside reports that PSG could be open to offers of around €35 million, with two Premier League clubs showing interest.

Newcastle United are monitoring the situation closely as they look to strengthen their defense amid uncertainty surrounding Jamaal Lascelles and Fabian Schär. The Magpies see Škriniar as a cost-effective and experienced option.

Tottenham are also reportedly interested, viewing Škriniar as a reliable backup for their main center-back duo of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero. However, negotiations may prove challenging, as Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou reportedly sees Škriniar more as a rotational option than a regular starter.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, PSG have proposed including Škriniar in a deal for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. However, Napoli are hesitant to accept the offer, citing the veteran’s high salary as a concern. As of now, no agreement has been reached.

A recent report from L’Équipe states that Škriniar is expected to decide this week on his next club, with PSG eager to secure a loan deal that includes an option to buy.

Škriniar has also drawn interest from Galatasaray, Tottenham, Napoli, and Aston Villa. However, Napoli are reportedly unwilling to include a purchase option, while the defender finds the Premier League clubs particularly appealing.
