PSG Desperate to Offload €35M-Rated Newcastle, Tottenham Target Over Wage Burden

Milan Škriniar’s standing at Paris Saint-Germain appears to be waning, with manager Luis Enrique leaning on Willian Pacho and Marquinhos as his go-to center-back pairing.

This shift has fueled speculation about Škriniar’s future, with whispers growing louder that the defender could leave the club in the coming weeks. Despite attracting interest from several clubs over the summer, Škriniar chose to remain at PSG.

However, as the January transfer window looms, his future remains uncertain. According to CaughtOffside, Škriniar could be available for €35 million in January, with two Premier League sides emerging as contenders for his signature.

Newcastle United are reportedly keeping tabs on the Slovakian international amid uncertainty surrounding Jamaal Lascelles and Fabian Schär. The Magpies view Škriniar as a shrewd, cost-effective option to strengthen their defensive ranks.

Tottenham are also in the race, eyeing Škriniar as a reliable backup to Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero. However, negotiations may prove tricky, as manager Ange Postecoglou views Škriniar more as a rotational option than a first-team regular.

PSG are moving with a sense of urgency to offload veteran

Journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu reports that PSG have received formal offers for Škriniar from clubs in England, Italy, and Galatasaray. The French giants are eager to offload the defender during the January transfer window, citing his substantial salary as a financial strain on the club.
