This summer, Milan Skriniar made a bold move, leaving Paris Saint-Germain to sign with Galatasaray. The Slovak defender was previously rumored to be heading to AC Milan, but he has put those speculations to rest.
In an interview with MilanNews.it, Skriniar clarified, “I never spoke to Milan. I had no contact with the club. Even my agent wasn’t aware of any discussions.”
While Skriniar is firm on his lack of communication with Milan, he didn’t entirely close the door on future possibilities. He stated, “Nothing is impossible. One should never say never. I have a four-year contract with Fenerbahçe, and I’m happy there. The fans adore me, the supporters are fantastic, and I have a good relationship with the club. I’ve regained my consistency and want to continue.”
At 30 years old, the former Inter captain feels at home in Istanbul but left a hint of uncertainty regarding his future. He remarked, “The market always seeks younger players, but we’ll see. For now, I’m very happy in Turkey and have many projects ahead.” This statement might raise eyebrows among Inter fans, who are not thrilled at the idea of their former stalwart donning the jersey of their fierce rival, Milan.

Ultimately, while Skriniar seems committed to his current club, the football world knows that transfers can be unpredictable. But his name is Milan, after all…
