According to Sportitalia, today’s meeting between Inter representatives and PSG for Milan Skriniar failed to reach a breakthrough, as there is still a €10m gap between offer and demand.
The centre-back has already agreed personal terms with Paris Saint-Germain, but the Nerazzurri made it clear they will not budge from their €70m asking price.
It’s reported that PSG chief Henrique Antero met with intermediary Paolo Busardò in London this evening to discuss the situation.
However, the Ligue 1 giants did not increase their offer, which remains €60m including various add-ons and performance-related bonuses.
The gap remains far too big to bridge, especially with interest growing from Chelsea after they lost target Jules Koundé to Barcelona.
PSG took a similar approach to Sassuolo and striker Gianluca Scamacca, but were out-bid by West Ham United in a deal worth €36m plus €6m add-ons and a 10 per cent cut of the future transfer fee.
They maintain Skriniar cannot be worth €70m when his contract is due to expire in June 2023, but Inter have already agreed a basic extension for the defender.
It is possible that the PSG proposal will force Inter to increase the terms they previously agreed.
