Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar has been heavily linked with a move away from the San Siro this summer, with Chelsea said to be among several clubs ready to step up to the plate. However, the west Londoners reportedly face tough competition from Paris Saint-Germain.
The 27-year-old, who sees his contract in Italy expire next year, featured 35 times for Simone Inzaghi's side in the Serie A this season, helping the Nerazzurri retain the second-best defensive record in the league. Skriniar has grown into one of Europe's most coveted centre-backs in recent years and his impressive displays have, once again, rallied a wealth of interest in his services.
According to Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, PSG have already submitted a €50million (£42.7m) bid for the defender which was swiftly rejected. Chelsea, who are believed to be interested in rivaling the French giants for the Slovakian's signature, are yet to have tabled an official offer of their own.
