Premier League
José Mourinho is clear: Milan Skriniar must continue to be part of Fenerbahçe next season. The Portuguese coach, who has already started to plan the squad for the upcoming season, considers the Slovak center-back a key piece in his defensive scheme and has asked the club's board to do everything possible to ensure his continuity.
Skriniar, who arrived on loan from Paris Saint-Germain in the winter transfer window, quickly convinced both the coaching staff and the fans with his solidity at the back and his experience in high-level matches. According to Ajansspor, Fenerbahçe paid around 5 million euros plus bonuses of 3.2 million to secure his temporary acquisition and is now willing to make a new offer to extend his stay.
Skriniar is a key player for Mourinho
There is a possibility on the table to acquire his rights permanently for a figure close to 10 million euros. The main obstacle is his high salary, estimated at 7.5 million per season, a sum that complicates negotiations with PSG, the owner of his transfer.
Nevertheless, Mourinho does not want to lose one of the leaders of his defense and has insisted that the club seek ways to retain him. The sporting management is already working on this, aware that keeping the former Inter player would be a show of strength in the market and an important step in Fenerbahçe's aspirations to reclaim the throne in Turkey.
