Juventus are actively seeking a central defender for the upcoming January transfer window, with Milan Skriniar emerging as the top target. The 30-year-old Slovak international, formerly of Inter Milan, is currently under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until June 2028. Despite his lucrative contract, which sees him earn approximately 8 million euros net per season plus bonuses, Skriniar has struggled to secure regular playing time under coach Luis Enrique. The player has already expressed his willingness to return to Italy, preferably not on a short-term six-month loan deal.
Calciomercato report how, In a related development, PSG have shown interest in Juventus midfielder Nicolò Fagioli. The 22-year-old Italian, also contracted until 2028, commands a significantly lower salary of 1.5 million euros net per year. Fagioli’s representatives have already initiated preliminary discussions with PSG. While parting with a homegrown talent would be a difficult decision for Juventus, the potential for a substantial capital gain – with the club valuing Fagioli at a minimum of 25 million euros – could prove to be a strategic move for Juventus’ sporting director Giuntoli in accelerating negotiations for Skriniar.
During talks with PSG’s sporting director Luis Campos, Giuntoli is also expected to explore the situation of French striker Randal Kolo Muani, the 25-year-old former Eintracht Frankfurt player. This potential multi-player negotiation underscores the complex nature of the upcoming transfer window, with both clubs looking to strengthen their squads while balancing financial considerations.
