Fabrizio Romano Provides Update on Juventus’ Interest in PSG Outcast to Replace Gleison Bremer | OneFootball

During the summer transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain defender Milan Skriniar was linked with several clubs, but the Slovakian ultimately stayed with the French club.

Despite remaining at PSG, the former Inter Milan star didn’t secure a regular spot under manager Luis Enrique, as Marquinhos and the rising Willian Pacho took priority in the lineup.

As the January transfer window approached, Skriniar was likely eyeing an exit, with a return to Serie A seeming possible.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are showing interest in the Slovak defender after Gleison Bremer’s injury, with manager Thiago Motta reportedly looking to reinforce his defense.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano provided the latest on this file, noting that Skriniar isn’t happy with his current situation.

“It’s still early stages in this story, but Milan Skriniar is not happy with his current situation at PSG regarding game time as the defender has played in just two matches this season for the French champions,” Romano writes in his latest Daily Briefing column for CaughtOffside.

“If nothing changes at PSG, he would be open to leaving the club in January, but it will depend on PSG. If the Ligue 1 champions open the doors to a loan deal, Juventus could be interested in the former Inter centre-back and as of right now, I’m not aware of bids from Premier League clubs. In my opinion, I don’t expect Skriniar to play much more at PSG as Luis Enrique has made his decision. This is one to watch in January.”

The 29-year-old might join on loan with an option to buy in January, offering a short-term solution for Juventus’ defensive problems. Plus, having already played in the league, he could adapt more quickly.

Since arriving at Paris Saint-Germain last summer, Skriniar has made 34 appearances for the Ligue 1 club and scored once.
