Fenerbahçe Beats Galatasaray to Sign PSG Defender”>Milan Škriniar’s Dramatic Transfer Saga: From PSG to fenerbahçe
Milan Škriniar has found a way out of what has been described as the biggest crisis of his career. After spending half a year on the bench at PSG, where he was eliminated from the squad by coach Luis Enrique, the Slovak defender has verbally agreed to a transfer to Fenerbahçe Istanbul.
The nature of the transfer remains uncertain. While german journalist Florian Plettenberg suggests it’s a permanent move, Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano hints at a loan deal. Despite the ambiguity, Fenerbahçe has already shared a photo of Škriniar holding their jersey on social media, signaling the deal’s progression.
However,this transfer could have taken a different turn. Videos on YouTube welcoming Škriniar to Galatasaray surfaced, revealing the intense competition for his signature. Turkish journalist Emre Kaplan, who covers Galatasaray, told Denník N, “For two to three months, Galatasaray tried to sign Škriniar.”
The January transfer window was more dramatic than it appeared.Kaplan added, “The club then asked the agent. They learned that Škriniar, of course, is not satisfied with the situation in which he found himself at PSG.” It seemed Galatasaray, currently the best club in Turkey, would secure his services.
But the tide turned. italian expert Nicoló Schira explained, “He was already very close. However, the key aspect turned out to be José Mourinho.” The legendary manager’s influence played a pivotal role in Škriniar’s decision.
Mourinho’s Persuasion
Škriniar’s move to Fenerbahçe was sealed after a phone call from Mourinho. The Slovak defender, who currently earns 400,000 euros per week including bonuses, had multiple offers on the table. Antonio Conte had wanted him at Napoli last summer, but his high wages proved a stumbling block. Juventus also showed interest but didn’t advance their pursuit.
Just as the world media speculated about Škriniar’s move to Galatasaray, a source close to the process revealed to Denník N, “Škriniar is going in a different direction. The management knows that he also has offers from the Premier League. Galatasaray is looking for someone else.”
What’s next for Škriniar?
Škriniar’s transfer marks a new chapter in his career. While some may view it as a step back, the chance to work under Mourinho and reignite his form could prove transformative.
