Enrique Icy on Skriniar, Rumored Juventus Swap Unlikely | OneFootball

Milan Skriniar continues to be a strong candidate to replace Gleison Bremer in the Juventus defense, as his situation at PSG isn’t getting any better. Luis Enrique weighed on the game time of the defender in the presser before facing Toulouse (via Calciomercato).

The former Inter star has played just 4 times in Ligue 1 for a total of 291 minutes and never in the Champions League. He has featured in 36 games since moving to France but lost his spot due to injury and subpar performances.

Juventus have been tipped to offer a swap with Nicolò Fagioli to acquire Skriniar permanently, but it’s unlikely to happen, Alfredo Pedullà informs (via OneFootball). If the Bianconeri and the midfielder decided to part ways, he wouldn’t have trouble finding a landing spot in the Premier League.

The Old Lady might also bring in a left-back to replace Juan Cabal. Ben Chilwell, who’s not involved much at Chelsea, and Nicolas Tagliafico could be cheap options to plug the hole, Goal informs.

Our Take on Juventus and Skriniar

He’d be a quality band-aid if he were the same player as in his heyday at Inter, but injuries have taken a toll on him. They have refrained from spending for veterans with big wages in the summer, so he’ll be a real target only at really favorable conditions. Considering that Andrea Cambiaso is hard to keep on the bench, they might prioritize a right-back over a lefty.
