Tottenham Hotspur & Aston Villa Join Galatasaray In The Race To Sign Ex Inter Milan Star From PSG | OneFootball

Spurs and Aston Villa have joined Galatasaray in trying to sign former Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar from Paris Saint-Germain.

This according to French outlet L’Equipe, via FCInterNews. They report that there is certainly no doubt that the Slovakian will depart from the French capital this month.

Skriniar has found himself decisively out of the first team plans at PSG.

The former Sampdoria defender made the move to the Parc des Princes from Inter in the summer of 2023. He did so on a free transfer, after a tumultuous transfer saga that saw him reject Inter’s offer of a contract extension.

Things have decidedly not gone according to plan for Skriniar in Paris, however.

PSG coach Luis Enrique has never really rated the 29-year-old. That has meant that Skriniar’s playing time has dwindled, while his form has suffered.

Skriniar had stayed at PSG over the summer despite the fact that he was very much out of the project by that point.

However, the Slovakian international has hardly seen an uptick in his playing time over the first half of this season.

Therefore, Skriniar will leave in the January transfer window.

Galatasaray have shown a strong interest in Skriniar’s signature. They have been trying to negotiate a loan deal where they would cover his full wages.

For their part, PSG are aiming to sell Skriniar on a permanent basis. Or at the very least, send him out on loan with a purchase obligation.

And Galatasaray are not the only team with an interest in signing the 29-year-old, reports L’Equipe.

From the Premier League, both Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa have come forward, according to the outlet.
