Tottenham may look to replace Cristian Romero with PSG's flop signing this summer.


Milan Skriniar's future at Paris Saint-Germain is likely to be finished after the former Inter Milan star signed on loan to Fenerbahçe SK during the winter transfer window to conclude the season 2024-25.

After his contract with Inter Milan expired, the veteran became a free agent and signed with PSG. The 29-year-old Slovakia international has signed a contract with the Ligue 1 winners until 2028.

Skriniar was a regular starter last season, but is no longer in Luis Enrique's plans. He made 37 appearances for Enrique. Skriniar's loan at Fenerbahçe does not include a permanent transfer option, and PSG is likely to sell him in the summer.

Could Tottenham Hotspur rekindle their interest in Milan Skriniar?


The summer transfer window is still a few months away, but the rumor mill and teams are already strategizing their offseason plans.

Tottenham Hotspur will need to strengthen their backline, and Milan Skriniar is once again connected with the English club after being a target during the winter transfer window.

According to Fichajes (h/t GOAL), Tottenham have apparently added Milan Skriniar to their list of prospective defensive targets. With Cristian Romero's future unknown, Spurs are looking for an experienced, reliable defender.

Skriniar's experience in the Champions League and Serie A makes him a good fit for the London club. Tottenham are interested in other players than only Skriniar.

Other defenders being monitored are Jonathan Tah, Dean Huijsen, Marc Guehi, and Jarrad Branthwaite. Still, Spurs' rising interest in Skriniar, along with their financial resources, could give them an advantage in the competition.

Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed during a Serie A match.

Edoardo Bove, a Fiorentina midfielder, slumped on the pitch during his team's Serie A match against Inter Milan on Sunday. Bove's teammates hastily shouted for medical assistance and surrounded the 22-year-old before doctors treated him and quickly transferred him to a nearby ambulance on the side of the pitch. The event occurred in the 16th minute of the match, which was momentarily suspended at 0-0 and then abandoned with plans to reschedule later in the season. According to Sky Sport Italia, Bove was rushed to the Careggi Hospital near Fiorentina's Stadio Artemio Franchi. The Italian broadcaster later stated that Bove was breathing and beating on his own.

Barcelona dealt enormous injury blow ahead of Inter and Real Madrid clashes.

In a heartbreaking evening, Barcelona came back from two goals down against Inter in the Champions League semi-final first leg. The Blaugrana will believe they should have won the game after losing twice from set pieces. Now they're calculating the expense. After only 42 minutes, French defender Jules Kounde collapsed on the pitch, clutching the back of his calf. He had to be replaced by Eric Garcia, who performed admirably as a right-back out of position. Kounde's injury has raised concerns ahead of a number of critical games. Kounde will be tested on Thursday, but it appears that he has a muscle problem, most likely more serious than a grade tear. According to Sport, Kounde will miss their La Liga match against Real Valladolid, their Champions League return leg in Milan against Inter, and their decisive Clasico against Real Madrid the following weekend. Kounde was seen limping as he exited the stadium, telling the cameras, 'We'll see tomorrow'.
