Inter defender Milan Skriniar has already made it clear that he would be willing to extend his contract past the end of June 2023 now that it is clear that he will not be making the move to Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, who report that the 27-year-old is ready for contract talks as PSG all but pull out of the race for his signature and the Nerazzurri take him off the market.
PSG’s newest offer is functionally identical to their bid of €53 million plus €7 million in add-ons from last months, as they’ve made it clear that they aren’t going to make a huge financial push to try and get close to Inter’s asking price.
This has coincided with a shift in the Nerazzurri’s stance, who now feel that it would simply be too late in the summer transfer window to consider allowing a sale of a player as important as the Slovakian.
Now that it is clear that Skriniar will not leave before the transfer window slams shut, the priority will be agreeing a new deal with the former Sampdoria, as his current contract is set to run out at the end of June 2023.
Contract talks could begin soon, and for his part the player is very receptive to the idea of signing a new deal with the Nerazzurri, although he would expect higher wages than what would have been on the table before the PSG interest emerged, albeit not close to the net €9.5 million per season that the Parisians would have offered.
