Manchester United want to hold talks with the entourage of Milan Skriniar to understand if the Inter Milan defender is open to a move.
According to Media Foot, Manchester United are seeking talks with the representatives of Milan Skriniar while considering a possible summer move. The Inter Milan defender has entered the last six months of his deal at San Siro, which will generate plenty of interest from many rival clubs.
The transfer market sometimes provides a unique opportunity when a notable player becomes available. The prospect becomes more appealing when the said star can sign for anyone on a free transfer in six months. Such is the case with Slovakian defender Milan Skriniar, who is running down his contract at Inter Milan.
The Nerazzurri remain confident of extending his deal at San Siro. But the signs of him leaving on a free transfer are high. High-profile clubs like PSG were reportedly interested in Skriniar during the summer. However, Inter held their ground and kept hold of the 27-year-old.
A host of Premier League clubs are keeping tabs on his situation. Clubs from England or anywhere outside Italy can broker a pre-contract with the 27-year-old in January. Inter remain aware of the problem but could admit defeat if rivals manage to prise the centre-back away with talks.
Liverpool are among those keen, but the Reds could find competition from Manchester United, who remain in the hunt for the Slovakian. The Red Devils are seeking talks with Skriniar’s representatives in the coming days as they try to understand if a move is possible.
Manchester United have the financial means to convince Skriniar, who may seek a new challenge. He certainly will have plenty of offers now and in the summer. However, the 27-year-old could wait until the summer to have better prospects to join someone on a free transfer.
Manchester United may need a new central defender, mainly if Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof leave during the close season. Skriniar will prove the perfect foil to replace the club captain and make a mark at Old Trafford for years to come.
The Red Devils will remain wary of rival competition. They know that Skriniar will strengthen their team and put them in contention for winning titles. The race is now open to sign the Slovakian, which will come as bad news for Inter Milan.
