PSG's NIGHTMARE: They couldn't sign him and now Chelsea is after him
He was a long time target of the Parisian outfit, but come January they'll have plenty competition to get him
PSG will hate to hear this, but Chelsea are not done in the market just yet. Despite spending over £250 million last summer and even sacking Champions League-winning coach Thomas Tuchel to hire someone who "fits the club vision" that Todd Boehly has for the club in Graham Potter, the Blues could go into January with very a clear objective: Milan Skriniar.

I continue to do so now as always and that is why the tifosi love me well. I have an excellent relationship with them and I want to thank them, it is very beautiful for a player to have a relationship like this with his fans", recently said the defender.
Skriniar has been in fine form once again this season
Since joining Inter from Sampdoria in July 2017 for 30 million euros, Milan Skriniar has been a crucial player for the team. The Slovenian was a standout when Antonio Conte's team won Inter the Scudetto in 2020/21, marking the end of an 11-year drought.
