Tottenham Hotspur Eye Summer Move for Experienced Centre-Back Milan Škriniar
Paris Saint-Germain defender Milan Škriniar, currently on loan at Turkish giants Fenerbahçe, is expected to make a decision on his long-term future at the end of the season. The 30-year-old Slovakian international has been attracting serious interest from Tottenham Hotspur, with the North London club closely monitoring his performances in recent months.
Spurs have reportedly been keeping tabs on Škriniar for quite some time now, and the coming transfer window could present the perfect opportunity to make a move. According to Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, the veteran centre-back will be available for a fee of just €15 million (£13 million) this summer — a figure that represents excellent value given his pedigree, experience, and potential to add much-needed stability to any backline.
Despite an underwhelming spell at PSG, where he struggled to replicate the commanding form he once displayed at Inter Milan, Škriniar appears to be rediscovering his rhythm in the Turkish Süper Lig. His performances at Fenerbahçe have been far more consistent, showcasing the composure, aerial strength, and positional awareness that once made him one of the most sought-after defenders in Europe.
If he continues on this upward trajectory, a move to the Premier League — particularly to a club like Tottenham — could be the ideal next step in his career. Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou is believed to be in the market for an experienced defender who can not only bolster the squad’s depth but also guide younger players and bring leadership to the dressing room.
Škriniar’s former teammate, Adam Zilak, once hailed him as an “incredible defender,” and if he can bring that same intensity and reliability to North London, he could play a key role in Tottenham’s push for a top-four finish and potential silverware.
Meanwhile, questions continue to linger around the future of Cristian Romero. The Argentine defender has been linked with a possible move away from the club, and if those rumors materialize, Škriniar could be seen as a ready-made replacement. His wealth of experience playing for elite clubs in Serie A and Ligue 1 gives him the credentials to step into a leading role at Tottenham.
At the same time, the relatively modest transfer fee would allow Spurs to reinforce other key areas of the squad, making Škriniar’s acquisition a potentially shrewd piece of business. However, Tottenham are unlikely to be the only club circling. Given the affordability of the deal and Škriniar’s track record at the highest levels of European football, other suitors are expected to emerge.
For Tottenham, acting decisively and early in the transfer window may prove crucial. With defensive reinforcements high on their priority list, Škriniar presents a rare opportunity to secure top-level quality at a reasonable cost — a move that could strengthen their ambitions heading into the new season.
