Over the summer transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain defender Milan Skriniar was in various transfer rumors. However, the Slovakian defender didn’t move and remained with the French giants.
Even though he stayed, the former Inter Milan standout isn’t manager Luis Enrique’s go-to pick for starting center-back as he’s been relegated to a backup role behind Marquinhos and the emergence of Willian Pacho.
As a result, when the January transfer window opens, it wouldn’t come as a surprise to see Skriniar push for a departure and it appears a return to Serie A could be on the horizon.
Following Gleison Bremer’s injury, Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Juventus has shown interest in Slovak defender Milan Skriniar for the winter transfer window. With manager Thiago Motta looking to strengthen his defense, Skriniar might be a potential solution.

The 29-year-old could make the move on loan with an option to buy in January, providing a temporary fix for the Old Lady’s defensive issues. Moreover, he’d already be familiar with the league, so his adaptation period could be quicker.
Since joining the Parisians last summer, Skriniar has made 34 appearances for the Ligue 1 side and scored one goal.
