Spanish football’s three biggest clubs in Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are to fight it out over Inter defender Milan Skriniar according to a report from Spanish newspaper Sport.

Skriniar has far surpassed any expectations anyone had of him since arriving at Inter and has attracted the interest of three of the finest European sides as a result.

Barcelona are looking at Skriniar with a view to him replacing Gerard Pique in the long term. Real Madrid are meanwhile looking to him as a back-up option to Sergio Ramos and future partner of Raphael Varane while Atletico Madrid have maintained an interest in him since missing out to the Nerazzurri last summer.

Inter are understandably reluctant to sell the 23-year-old centre back, so much so that he is deemed completely unsellable by the Inter hierarchy as per reports circulating in the media. Skriniar himself has come out and reaffirmed his commitment to the club amid the reports which can only be a good sign.
