Tottenham have positioned themselves to sign Milan Skriniar, with the Slovakian defender expected to decide on his next club in the coming days.
With the January transfer window wide open, Tottenham Hotspur find themselves in urgent need of defensive reinforcements, as injuries have ravaged their centre-back options.
The situation stems from the simultaneous injuries to all four of Tottenham’s main centre-backs: Radu Dragusin, Ben Davies, Cristian Romero, and Micky van de Ven.
This crisis has left the Australian manager with little choice but to explore the market for an experienced and reliable defender who can step into the team immediately.
According to L’Équipe, the North London club has joined the race to secure Skriniar’s signature, with the player expected to decide on his future within days.
The reports suggest that a resolution regarding Milan Skriniar’s future could be reached by the end of the week, as his representative have recently been in Paris to advance discussions.
The Slovakian defender, who has made just five appearances this season under Luis Enrique at Paris Saint-Germain, is keen to secure a move that will allow him to play more regularly.
Tottenham’s chances hinge on their ability to present an attractive project to the former Inter Milan stalwart. While the Premier League’s allure is undeniable, Milan Skriniar has no shortage of suitors.
Galatasaray has reportedly been the most persistent, offering him the prospect of regular first-team football.
However, financial considerations and the defender’s high salary—a remnant of his lucrative move to PSG—complicate negotiations.
Despite Tottenham’s keen interest, the competition for Skriniar remains intense. Galatasaray, as mentioned, has been pressing hardest for weeks, but the Turkish side faces challenges in accommodating his salary demands.
In Italy, Napoli has also entered the fray, though the Serie A leaders are reportedly hesitant to include a purchase option in any potential loan deal, a condition PSG is keen to enforce.
Closer to home, Aston Villa has emerged as another contender. The Midlands club, under Unai Emery, could offer Milan Skriniar the chance to remain in Europe’s top leagues while competing for a spot in a growing project. However, Villa’s interest has yet to materialise into concrete negotiations.
