Milan Škriniar’s tenure at Paris Saint-Germain has not unfolded as anticipated, and with limited playing time this season, the Slovak defender is eyeing a potential move back to Italy, specifically to Juventus. After joining PSG from Inter Milan on a free transfer, Škriniar had high hopes for his career in Paris. However, injuries and tactical decisions have significantly hindered his progress.
Since the beginning of the season, Škriniar has found himself sidelined for much of the action, logging only 381 minutes across nine appearances. His situation worsened with the emergence of new defensive signings and the return of established players like Lucas Hernández and Presnel Kimpembe. Footmercato report how, recognizing the diminishing prospects of regular playtime, Škriniar is reportedly open to leaving PSG.
Juventus has emerged as a strong contender for his signature, especially following the serious injury to Gleison Bremer, which has left a gap in their defense. The Bianconeri had previously shown interest in Škriniar during the summer transfer window and are now rekindling that pursuit for the upcoming winter transfer market. Reports indicate that Škriniar has already given his verbal agreement to join Juventus.
Negotiations between Juventus and PSG are underway, with the Italian club looking to secure a deal that could involve player exchanges to facilitate the transfer. PSG is expected to demand a significant fee for Škriniar, but Juventus hopes to negotiate terms that would make the move feasible.
Škriniar’s departure from PSG appears increasingly likely as both parties seem motivated to reach an agreement. For Juventus, bringing in an experienced defender like Škriniar would not only fill a crucial gap in their lineup but also reunite him with a familiar environment in Serie A, where he previously excelled.
