Inter CEO Beppe Marotta does not want to make a deal for Milan Skriniar with Paris Saint-Germain at a fee of any less than €70 million.
This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, who report that the Nerazzurri executive’s strategy is to monetize the sale of Skriniar to the greatest extent possible so as to fund moves for Torino’s Bremer and Fiorentina’s Nikola Milenkovic.
Skriniar’s sale now looks to be looming as talks have heated up during the past couple days between Inter and PSG, and the Nerazzurri await the Parisians improved offer.
The French champions are ready to get close to Inter’s asking price, but it remains to be seen exactly how high they go.
Marotta wants at least €70 million from the deal, which he would immediately put towards defensive reinforcements Bremer and Milenkovic.
For Bremer, the Nerazzurri are ready to make an offer worth €28-30 million on a loan with a purchase obligation, whilst they could also send Cesare Casadei to Torino on loan, and value the 19-year-old at €7-8 million.
In addition to Bremer, Inter would also want to sign Milenkovic as a like-for-like replacement for Skriniar, and Marotta wants to ensure that they can complete a deal for him quickly once the Slovakian is sold.
