This is the end of one of the soap operas of this summer transfer window.
Slovak central defender Milan Skriniar will ultimately not join Paris Saint-Germain.
This was confirmed by Inter sporting director Giuseppe Marotta for Serie A broadcaster DAZN. “Milan Skriniar is not going to leave, he will stay with us, that's for sure.
Our owners have decided not to be tempted by the offer from Paris Saint-Germain.
I can confirm that he is a key player for us and that he will stay,” he said.
Above all, Inter Milan now intends to move on to another phase to keep it beyond 2023. “Nasser Al-Khelaïfi wants Milan Skriniar to become free?
Milan is a good guy, we will start negotiations with him as soon as possible.
We want to link him to Inter for many years.
This disguised threat is not enough to challenge the values of this player,” added the nerazzurri leader.
PSG did not want to overpay
A statement that echoes that of the team's coach, Simone Inzaghi, on August 12.
“The team is closed.
Our transfer window is over in the direction of departures, ”he said at a press conference.
Statements which therefore put an end to the Milan Skriniar track at PSG, he who has long been on the shelves of the Parisian management.
The capital club did not want to overpay the Slovak international, which lengthened the negotiations.
While Inter demanded 70 million euros to buy out the last year of the contract of one of the strong men of its central defense, PSG only offered between 50 and 60 million euros, bonus included.
If the Skriniar track seems to be forgotten, the Paris transfer window is far from over.
"It's going to move a lot," said coach Christophe Galtier on Friday.
The transfer window will end on September 1 at 11 p.m.
