Having arrived from Inter Milan in the summer of 2023, 29-year-old defender Milan Skriniar has yet to find his place at Paris Saint-Germain. His contract expires in June 2028, but already a departure seems likely as the Slovak international is no longer playing. Ahead of Juventus’ match against Fiorentina in Serie A, Turin coach Thiago Motta was asked about the possible recruitment of a defender, including the Parisian.
“If something can be done to improve the team, it will be done, otherwise it won’t be.”
“Are we going to recruit a top defender? I want to play a great game tomorrow. Let’s think about the game for the sake of the team. If something can be done to improve the team, it will be done, otherwise it won’t be. Today, there’s only Fiorentina: I’m only thinking about the match at 200%, myself and my players.”
It’s a relatively classic talk about the mercato, with a coach who doesn’t want to reveal too much about his plans and prefers to concentrate on the games. The door isn’t particularly open for Skriniar, but a recruitment in his position hasn’t been ruled out either.
But that’s not enough to raise hopes of the Slovak defender’s departure. Although it’s not a case to be closed down either. In any case, Juventus have been less frequently mentioned of late, while Galatasaray seem to be getting ahead of the game.
