Milan Škriniar Set to Swap Paris for Turkey
Slovakian center-back Milan Škriniar is on the verge of leaving Paris Saint-Germain after falling out with head coach Luis Enrique. According to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the 29-year-old defender is close to joining Fenerbahçe.
Speculation about Škriniar's potential departure has been circulating for weeks, with clubs like Galatasaray and Juventus reportedly interested. However, Fenerbahçe has moved swiftly, offering a permanent deal, unlike their competitors who were primarily exploring loan options.
Škriniar's situation at PSG has become increasingly dire. Once considered a European defensive stalwart, he has made just five appearances in Ligue 1 this season and has not featured in the UEFA Champions League at all. A move away in the winter transfer window seems to be the most practical solution for the player.
The Slovakian joined PSG from Inter Milan in the summer of 2023, but injuries and tactical changes under Enrique have seen him fall down the pecking order. As Fenerbahçe looks to bolster their defense for the second half of the season, Škriniar's experience and leadership could provide a significant boost to the Turkish giants.
