Sky Sport Italia transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio believes that Milan Skriniar will not extend his Inter contract beyond the end of June 2023 and so the Nerazzurri could risk losing him for free if they don’t sell him this summer.

Speaking to German news outlet Wettfreunde.net, Di Marzio reported that the Nerazzurri will likely sell the 27-year-old to Paris Saint-Germain this summer as the alternative would be to run the risk of him running down his contract.

PSG are pushing to bring Skriniar to the French capital, and for some time the Slovakian has looked like the likeliest player to leave Inter in a big name sale needed to meet financial targets during the summer transfer window.

The defender’s contract situation has been one aspect that could potentially weigh on the situation, as his current deal runs out next summer and so theoretically he could start negotiating with clubs for a free transfer starting next February if he is still at Inter.

“Every club knows that Inter must sell a player and that it will be a defender,” Di Marzio stated. “They know this and offer €50 million plus a player going the other way, Inter don’t want player-plus-cash deal, they want €70-80 million.”

“Now a structure of a deal must be found which suits both the buying and selling clubs,” he went on. “I believe it will happen.”

Di Marzio continued that “I don’t know when, but Inter have to sell Skriniar because they don’t want to sell Bastoni and because Skriniar has only one season left on his contract and will not extend.”

“If they don’t sell him now, they might lose him in February,” he warned. “It’s a question of finding the right price. PSG wants the player and they believe they can get a deal done.”
