The Nerazzurri hope to tie down their key defender to a new deal.
Inter cannot “do the impossible” in their efforts to extend Milan Skriniar’s contracts, warns chief executive Giuseppe Marotta.
Paris Saint-Germain pushed hard to sign Skriniar in the summer. But Inter admitted the risk of losing him for free in June as they blocked the transfer.
Since then, the Nerazzurri have continued their negotiations to extend Skriniar’s contract. But the two parties are reportedly “not close” to reaching an agreement over a new deal.
Chelsea and Tottenham have emerged as new suitors for Skriniar, whose performances convinced PSG to make a €50m bid for him in the summer.
Speaking to DAZN, Marotta provided an update on the negotiations with the 27-year-old.
“There are other teams grappling with these situations. We are negotiating a renewal with his representatives because we believe Milan deserves to be part of our staff in the present and future,” Marotta told DAZN on Wednesday.
“We presented an offer to him and hope to soon reach a conclusion.
“In life I’m always optimistic, but in this case optimism is linked to realism. We know we can do a lot, but we cannot do the impossible.”
Inter claimed a massive victory by beating Napoli as they returned to Serie A on Wednesday. The Nerazzurri will take on Monza in their next game this weekend.
