Chelsea are ready to enter a bidding war with PSG and Real Madrid to try and secure the January signing of Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar.The Slovakia international was heavily linked with a move away from San Siro earlier this year as he entered the final year of his deal. However, the deal failed to materialise – but it could still happen.Skriniar is moving further away from re-signing with Inter ⚫️🔵Inter would offer €6M a season max, while he wants €7.5M. Without an agreement on a renewal, Inter could sell him in January for €25-30M to PSG so they don’t lose him for free in the summer. 📰 via Gazzetta pic.twitter.com/9UikNEieFy— Italian Football TV (@IFTVofficial) September 27, 2022 It’s interesting how Skriniar has become one of the best-respected defenders on the continent when he only became a defender by chance in his homeland.”I was a midfielder at Zilina, then a centre-back got injured, and the coach Adrian Gula asked me to stand in. He liked the performance, and I stayed in that role for the rest of pre-season, so I’m still there today. It’s fortunate because if I had stayed as a midfielder, I’d probably still be in the Slovakian league now.”##NAJAVA_MECA_6678037##Before anything happens in the market, Skriniar will have to work hard to improve the fortunes of his current club. Inter won the Scudetto under Antonio Conte in 2021 and came close to repeating it the following year with Simone Inzaghi, just missing out to rivals Milan. “There was a lot of disappointment last season, but we also won the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana. There was criticism because we were such a strong squad that people expected us to win, but we lost games that we dominated, while Milan also deserve credit for winning some tough matches.”
