According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are considering a January move for Paris Saint-Germain defender Milan Skriniar. The Slovak international, who earns €10 million per year plus bonuses, has only played 111 minutes so far this season for the French club.
Juventus’ sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is exploring the possibility of a loan deal for Skriniar. The Turin club’s interest in the former Inter Milan star has been piqued by his lack of playing time at PSG, where he has fallen down the pecking order under manager Luis Enrique.
Despite PSG’s significant investment in Skriniar, who joined on a free transfer in the summer of 2023, the defender has struggled to establish himself in the starting lineup. He has only featured in two of PSG’s nine matches this season, starting just once in mid-September against Brest before the Champions League began.
Juventus are facing a defensive crisis following a serious injury to Gleison Bremer. With only three natural center-backs available, the club are looking to reinforce its backline in the winter transfer window. Skriniar’s experience and quality make him an attractive option for the Bianconeri.
However, any potential deal would hinge on PSG’s willingness to let Skriniar leave on loan and potentially contribute to his substantial wages. Juventus currently lacks the budget for expensive transfers and would only consider a loan move with an option to buy.
The Italian giants are also monitoring other defensive options, including Arsenal’s Jakub Kiwior. But Skriniar’s sudden availability has caught Giuntoli’s attention, and if the situation persists, Juventus may attempt to bring the Slovak back to Serie A.
