Inter still have some way to go before they can get an agreement wrapped up with defender Milan Skriniar on a contract extension, but there is reason for optimism.
This according to Sky Sport Italia transfer market journalist Matteo Barzaghi, who reported on air that the Nerazzurri feel optimistic that they can secure the 27-year-old’s future with a new deal.
Negotiations are now well underway between Inter and the representatives of Skriniar regarding a new deal for the 27-year-old.
The Nerazzurri have made agreeing a new contract a major priority.
At the moment, there is still not formal agreement, and more discussions will have to take place before a conclusion can be reached.
However, according to Barzaghi, the club are feeling in a confident mood regarding the possibility of wrapping up negotiations on a new deal that would see them ward off the intentions of Paris Saint-Germain to sign the Slovakian.
“If you listen to the words of Beppe Marotta, there are two considerations to think about – he’s optimistic and even named a deadline, so clearly Inter are confident,” he noted.
“Secondly, if the club can manage to do this it would be a big accomplishment considering that PSG are still very much interested after a busy summer.”
“There is still some work left to be done,” Barzaghi noted, “but there’s optimism.”
