Agent: 'Real Madrid, Barcelona want Milan Skriniar'

The agent of Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar has claimed that both Real Madrid and Barcelona want to sign his client in this summer's transfer window.

Skriniar is widely regarded as one of the best defenders in European football, with Manchester United also strongly linked with his services over the last few weeks.

Agent Mithat Halis, however, has hinted that Madrid and Barca will go head to head for the Slovenian.

"Real Madrid want to sign him, Barcelona too. The team that can convince Inter will sign him this summer," Marca quotes Halis as saying.

"Skriniar has a professional attitude. If Real Madrid want to sign him, they can, there are many agents like cannibals, who aim to take players to teams that want them."

Skriniar joined Inter from Sampdoria in the summer of 2017 and has made 76 appearances for the Milan giants.

The 24-year-old's current deal at San Siro will run until the end of the 2021-22 campaign.
