Aston Villa will reportedly compete with Tottenham Hotspur for 29-year-old Paris Saint-Germain defender Milan Skriniar, with the Lilywhites more advanced in the battle.
According to a report by L’Equipe, as relayed by Sport Witness, Milan Skriniar is the subject of interest from Aston Villa. The Paris Saint-Germain defender is also a target for Tottenham, with the Lilywhites more advanced in the race to secure his services. The Ligue 1 champions are ready to part ways with the Slovakian international in the winter transfer window.
The rise and fall of Milan Skriniar
Milan Skriniar has seen his progress come to a stuttering halt since joining Paris Saint-Germain in a Bosman move after running down his contract with Inter Milan. A native of Žiar nad Hronom, the Slovak spent his formative years in his homeland and graduated from the youth division at MSK Zilina.
The 29-year-old rose in prominence during his spell with Inter Milan, spending half a dozen years with the Nerazzurri. However, Skriniar has struggled to make his mark at PSG, managing only 37 appearances thus far for the Ligue 1 champions while chipping in with one goal.
Meanwhile, the Slovakian defender’s stock in the market remains high, and an adventure in the Premier League might be on the cards. Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur are vying for the PSG defender’s signature, with Fenerbahce and Galatasaray also keen on signing him from the Ligue 1 club.
Premier League adventure beckons?
Aston Villa’s interest in Milan Skriniar is understandable. The Villans are scouring the market for a centre-back amid uncertainties surrounding Diego Carlos’s long-term future. So, several candidates, including Loic Bade, have emerged on Aston Villa’s radar, with Skriniar also a viable target.
As for Tottenham Hotspur, the Lilywhites are keen on signing a centre-back this month as Ange Postecoglou looks to complete his central defensive unit. Radu Dragusin is the only out-and-out centre-back in Postecoglou’s squad, meaning Tottenham should sign a centre-back this month.
PSG will not stand in Skriniar’s way, with the Ligue 1 champions open to accepting an initial loan deal to part ways with him in the winter transfer window. However, Les Parisiens will aim to include a conditional purchase obligation clause if the 29-year-old Slovakian international departs from Parc des Princes this month.
