Mithat Halis, an agent that works for the agency that manages Inter defender Milan Skriniar, has claimed that the Slovakian defender is now worth €100 million amid interest from a number of top European clubs.

“Real Madrid want to sign him, so do Barcelona. If they manage to convince Inter, they could sign him this summer,” Halis claimed in an interview with Spanish newspaper AS.

“Skriniar is a great professional. If Real Madrid really want him, they will try, but there are many cannibalistic agents who try to steer players to the clubs that they want.

He continued by outing Mino Raiola as one of them: “For example, Mino Raiola, who represents Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, wants to do that. He wants to confuse Skriniar, but he is a player who is contracted to our agency.

“Inter paid €28m plus bonuses for him and six months later Manchester City offered €55m. Now he is worth around €100m.
