Last month, numerous reports noted that three teams were interested in signing Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar. Among those such teams listed was Paris Saint-Germain, especially as veteran center-back Thiago Silva is set to leave the club later this month.
Now, Skriniar’s future at Inter Milan will reportedly hinge on the outcome of one ongoing off-field matter.
According to the Italian-based outlet Tuttosport, Inter Milan will resolve Skriniar’s transfer dilemma after it comes to a resolution on the future of manager Antonio Conte. The report mentions that if Conte decides to leave Inter after just one season, the club would prefer to keep Skriniar.
Per the report, Inter does not deem Skriniar to be untouchable anymore due to his recent performances in Conte’s three-at-the-back tactical system. But if Conte goes on to leave the club and the new manager reverts to a traditional four-man defensive line, there is a belief that the center-back could then return to his days as a keen defender.
If PSG aims to sign Skriniar, the club will now have to be patient and keep a close watch on the Conte saga at Inter.
