Manchester City aren’t short of centre-backs with Manuel Akanji recently joining John Stones, Ruben Dias, Aymeric Laporte and Nathan Ake, but Dan King of The Sun says they’re on the hunt for Inter Milan’s Milan Skriniar.
City are reportedly battling Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea for the ‘highly-rated’ defender as his contract is up next summer. Skriniar could be available on a free transfer at the end of the season, so he’ll quickly gain suitors.

The 27-year-old joined Inter from Sampdoria in 2017 and has gone on to make 224 appearances in all competitions, scoring 11 goals with four assists. This season, Skriniar has played in nine games across the board, amassing 789 minutes from a possible 810, so he’s an important player for Inter.
City might have fancied Skriniar before they signed Akanji, but it remains to be seen where the Slovakian international would fit in the team. If Skiniar is set on leaving Inter next year, he’ll be a coveted player in the transfer market, but City might not be genuine suitors.
