Milan Škriniar’s role at Paris Saint-Germain has diminished, with manager Luis Enrique favoring Willian Pacho and Marquinhos as his preferred center-backs. This tactical shift has intensified speculation about the defender’s future, suggesting he could depart the club in the coming weeks.
Škriniar, who opted to stay at PSG despite summer interest from several clubs, now faces an uncertain future as the January transfer window approaches. A return to Serie A, where he excelled with Inter Milan, is being heavily discussed.
In November, Foot Mercato’s Santi Aouna reported that Škriniar had reached a verbal agreement with Juventus, with talks ongoing between PSG and the Italian side over a potential fee. However, there have been no significant updates since then.
More Premier League interest in Milan Škriniar?
PSG Inside-Actus reported on Monday that Škriniar’s time at PSG appears to be nearing its end. The central defender struggled to cement his place under Enrique and didn’t fully integrate into the Parisian starting eleven. With interest from clubs like Galatasaray, a winter exit seems almost inevitable.
The Slovak international reportedly favors a return to Italy. Still, his list of suitors is extensive, including Juventus, Napoli, Al Nassr, Everton, West Ham, Bayern Munich, Sporting Lisbon, and several Saudi Arabian clubs.

CaughtOffside recently reported that Milan Škriniar could be available for €35 million in the January transfer window, with two Premier League clubs reportedly in the race for the experienced defender.
Newcastle are among the potential suitors, as uncertainty surrounds the futures of Jamaal Lascelles and Fabian Schär. The Magpies view Škriniar as a cost-effective addition to bolster their defense.
Tottenham are also in the mix, considering Škriniar as a valuable backup for Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero. However, manager Ange Postecoglou may face challenges in negotiations, as Škriniar is seen primarily as a rotation player rather than a first-choice starter.
