Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) bolstered its defense by signing Milan Skriniar on a five-year deal, a year after missing out on the former Inter Milan center back.
PSG announced its first new player of the summer a day after unveiling new coach Luis Enrique.
Out of contract with Inter, the powerfully-built Slovak international had been in talks with PSG for months after the French champions failed to reach a financial agreement with the Italian Serie A side last year.
PSG has reportedly been very active on the transfer market in recent weeks and is expected to announce further signings. Luis Enrique has pledged to build a competitive team in a bid to challenge for the UEFA Champions League title.
The 28-year-old Skriniar joined Sampdoria in 2016 and became the youngest defender to play at least 35 games in the Italian Serie A, PSG said. He then moved to Inter Milan and played 246 matches with 10 goals in five seasons.
Skriniar won the Italian league title with Inter in 2021, as well as two Italian Cups. He has played 60 games with Slovakia, scoring three goals.
