Inter’s Milan Skriniar says he has ‘never considered’ leaving the club this summer, despite reported interest from Manchester United and Barcelona.
The 23-year-old only joined the Nerazzurri from Sampdoria last summer, but his performances over the last 12 months have attracted the attention of leading clubs around Europe.
But the Slovakian insists that he has not thought about his next move at any point and is looking forward to his first taste of Champions League football, with Inter back in European football’s premier club competition.
Inter’s Milan Skriniar says he has ‘never considered’ leaving the club this summer, despite reported interest from Manchester United and Barcelona.
The 23-year-old only joined the Nerazzurri from Sampdoria last summer, but his performances over the last 12 months have attracted the attention of leading clubs around Europe.
But the Slovakian insists that he has not thought about his next move at any point and is looking forward to his first taste of Champions League football, with Inter back in European football’s premier club competition.
“It’s not a bad thing to read or feel that your way of playing is appreciated by great teams,” Skriniar told Gazzetta dello Sport.
“But I have never thought about leaving.
“I’ve always said let’s see what Inter decide. For me it’s fine.
“We are Inter, which by definition is a club which should always be at the top.
“We are already stronger than we were last season. The target is to stay at a high level and get great results in the Champions League.
“For me, it will be my first time in the competition.
“I don’t have any doubts. The opposition changes nothing, we can do great things against Real Madrid and Barcelona too.
“Inter are a top club and we want to get through the group phase.”
Skriniar added that his agent is in talks with Inter over a contract extension and ruled out the possibility of ever playing for another Italian team.
“It’s not done yet, my agent is talking with the club and we’ll see what happens.
“In Italy I will only play for Inter.”
