The January transfer window is nearing in a couple of weeks. As a result, Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique spoke about the future of two players.
Milan Škriniar has been moved to a backup role at PSG, with Enrique opting for Willian Pacho and Marquinhos as his starting center-backs. Nonetheless, the veteran defender might be on the way out in a few weeks.
In the summer, Škriniar was linked with several clubs but stayed with PSG. As the January transfer window draws closer, it seems likely that Škriniar will seek a move, with a potential return to Serie A, where he enjoyed success with Inter Milan, looking like a strong possibility.
Meanwhile, Škriniar isn’t the only player who could be moving in January, as Randal Kolo Muani’s name has been in the rumor mill.
Under Enrique, Kolo Muani has struggled to establish himself as PSG’s primary striker, amassing just 453 minutes across all competitions. This has fueled rumors that he could seek a move in January.

Amid all the rumors, Luis Enrique spoke to the media on Thursday and noted his stance on the future’s of Kolo Muani and Škriniar.
“Skriniar and Kolo Muani on their way out? It’s a tough market for everyone and for the players who could leave,” Enrique said (h/t Le10Sport). “We will need to analyze all the cases. I can’t say anything for sure. I hope that the players who play little can turn the situation around.”
Last month, Foot Mercato’s Santi Aouna reported that Škriniar and Juventus have reached a verbal agreement on a move. Talks regarding the transfer fee are now ongoing between PSG and the Italian club.
Meanwhile, this week, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano mentioned that Kolo Muani could leave PSG if the club receives a strong offer. However, there’s no direct link to Manchester United at the moment, with no negotiations or contacts having taken place.
