Option #1: Milan Skriniar

Twenty-year-old Milan Skriniar is a strong and dominant centre-back. He is tall, positionally aware and possesses excellent passing abilities.

Skriniar has the attributes of a leader – having been named the captain of his national side, Slovakia, in June 2022 following the international retirement of Marek Hamsik. He is a Serie A, Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana champion, and was named Slovak Footballer of the Year in 2019.

After learning of PSG’s interest, Inter Milan have priced their star at around €65-70milion, which may price the West London club out of a deal this summer.
