The parable of Skriniar, from untouchable to expendable. But Conte reflects on the relaunch | First page

The parable of Milan Skriniar has almost something inexplicableIf it weren’t for the fact that we’re still talking about football, where everything and the opposite of everything goes after an hour. In June 2019 the crazy offer of the City (75 million euros) and the not of Inter: “Skriniar cannot be touched, he can become our captain.” In October 2020, however, everything was turned upside down. Between a season that is not played at its levels and a module that enhances more defects than merits.

SELL, DO NOT SELL – There are no more offers of 75 million euros, in fact, Tottenham have risen to a maximum of 30, receiving in return the refusal of the Nerazzurri club. Why If it is true that Skriniar is on the market today and can leave, it is equally true that Inter cannot sell to the Slovak.. The risk of regret is high, because once again placed in the center of a 4-man defense, the Slovak could once again return to the best role players in Europe. And then how would Inter explain the fact that they sold it at the bargain price? For this reason, the starting price of the defender is higher than the 30 million that Tottenham offers. Inter asks for 50 million euros, they would also accept 45 more bonuses. A figure still far from the 75 that City offered in 2019, but more appropriate than the one put on the plate by Mourinho.

NEW OWNER? – In the meantime, Conte could retrace his steps and offer Skriniar a starter jersey in view of the first leg in Benevento. The Kolarov seen against Fiorentina made the Slovak regret, also generating a lot of criticism from fans. Although the Salento coach did not want to find the cause of the three goals conceded in the singles debut, something of the Serbian defender’s dream seemed quite evident. And then, waiting for real offers from the market, Skriniar could again take a place among the owners.
