Skriniar set for shock move to Al-Nassr

Slovakian defender Milan Skriniar, once a highly-touted addition to PSG, now finds himself on the verge of leaving the club. Despite joining PSG last summer for a hefty €60 million fee, Skriniar has struggled to secure a place in the team under the new management of Luis Enrique.

The coach's decision to bench Skriniar in PSG's last league match sent a clear message: it’s time for the 29-year-old to seek opportunities elsewhere.

Rumors have swirled for weeks about Skriniar's potential return to Serie A, where he previously made a name for himself with Inter Milan. However, recent reports indicate that the defender is now set to take a surprising turn in his career by joining the Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr.

Skriniar set for shock move to Al-Nassr

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Al-Nassr has submitted an official offer to PSG, and the deal is nearly finalized. Although the exact transfer fee remains undisclosed, both clubs appear to be in the final stages of negotiations.

Skriniar, who has also reached personal terms with Al-Nassr, seems poised to join the ranks of high-profile players in the Saudi Pro League. If the transfer is completed, Skriniar will link up with global football stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brozovic, and Aymeric Laporte at Al-Nassr.

This move marks a significant shift for Skriniar, who initially joined PSG with high expectations. His tenure in Paris has been marred by injury and a subsequent loss of form, leading to his demotion in the squad. With Luis Enrique favoring other defensive options, including young talent Lucas Beraldo, Skriniar's departure appears to be the best solution for all parties involved.

As the summer transfer window draws to a close, Skriniar’s impending move to Al-Nassr underscores the rapidly changing dynamics of European football, with Saudi Arabian clubs continuing to attract top talent from across the globe.
