In this transfer saga, patience was key. Paris Saint-Germain even tried to speed up the arrival of Milan Skriniar, by offering Inter Milan 55,000,000 euros last summer, then six months before the end of the contract they tried with 10,000,000 for the Slovakian to move to Parc des Princes as soon as possible, but despite the Nerazzurri’s negative responses, the Saints finally got the reinforcement they wanted. One of the best defenders in Europe has arrived and signed a five-year contract which, according to earlier reports, will guarantee him an annual salary of around 9,000,000 euros net.✈️ pic.twitter.com/fvQ2EK0JN9— Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_inside) July 6, 2023 Flight ‘Milan – Paris’, with which the French champion announced the signing of Skriniar today, was awaited for a year, but the passenger landed safely. In tandem with Marquinhos, they will form one of the most powerful sweeper tandems in Europe, and they will fill the void created by the departure of Sergio Ramos, who was one of PSG’s best players last season.Someone might think that they were frivolous at Inter when they turned down offers for the Slovakian international, but the question is whether they would have had the season they did, in which they were finalists in the Champions League, without him. In fact, due to a back problem, he missed the quarter-final, semi-final and final of the elite competition.##NAJAVA_MECA_7355299##In the summer of 2017, Inter paid Sampdoria 34,000,000 euros for the defender, and even though Nerazzurri did not earn a single cent from Skriniar, he was probably the most important defensive figure in winning Serie A in 2021, i.e. lifting the Italian Cup twice. And not everything can always be ideal in transfer policy. However, in recent years, Inter signed players without compensation – the most recent examples being Marcus Thuram, through Henrik Mkhitaryan, Andre Onana, Hakan Calhanoglu, Alexis Sanchez…🔴 #WelcomeŠkriniar 🔵 pic.twitter.com/PWc6M42jIa— Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_inside) July 6, 2023 In any case, Skriniar opened a new chapter of a rich club career, and the Parisians continued the practice of “free signings” of big players that they have been cultivating lately. Just the summer before last, Lionel Messi, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Sergio Ramos and Georginio Wijnaldum arrived. Admittedly, only the custodian remained in the City of Light, and Skriniar is more likely to grow deeper roots than the Argentine, the Spaniard and the Dutch.Last winter, there was also talk of a signing bonus of 25,000,000 euros, and no matter how much it is, there is no doubt that the Slovakian will earn a lot in one of the most influential clubs on the planet.
