Tottenham Hotspur have long been linked with a move to sign Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar, but the Italian giants have now made him a strong offer to retain his services.

That’s according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, who has revealed the latest on the future of the talented Slovakian defender, who has been branded as a ‘monumental‘ player.

Inter Milan tell Tottenham target Milan Skriniar they’ll make him the captain if he stays

Skriniar was heavily linked with a move away from Inter Milan back in the summer transfer window.

The 27-year-old had entered the final year of his contract, and both Tottenham Hotspur (as per Ben Jacobs on The Last Word On Spurs Podcast) and Paris Saint-Germain were reportedly interested in signing him.

PSG apparently even promised Kylian Mbappe that they would sign Skriniar (GFFN), but Inter managed to retain his services in the end, which is a huge positive.

Now, the Italian giants want to tie down the Slovakian to a long-term deal at the San Siro, and they’re prepared to make him their main man for years to come.

Romano revealed yesterday that Inter are so keen to tie Skriniar down to a new contract that they have offered to make him the club captain if he agrees to stay with them beyond the end of this season.

The Nerazzurri are said to be confident about keeping hold of the defender.

Skriniar really would’ve been a fantastic option for Tottenham in the summer.

Spurs already have Eric Dier and Cristian Romero at the back, while Antonio Conte has preferred a left-footer in the left centre-half position. Although Skriniar doesn’t quite check that box, he would’ve improved Spurs massively.

The Slovakian can play anywhere across the back three. He is strong on the ground, excellent in the air, and most importantly, he knows Conte’s system really well having thrived under him at Inter a few years ago.

Unfortunately for Spurs, that train seems to have passed, but football is a funny game, and if Conte really pushes for him again, there’s a small chance he could convince Skriniar to move to Tottenham next year.
