Even if he was not spared from a major injury, the Slovak defender has never lived up to the expectations placed on him since his arrival at PSG.
With Randal Kolo Muani, Milan Skriniar will undoubtedly have been the Parisian recruit having had the worst season at Paris Saint-Germain during the financial year which has just ended. Used 32 times by Luis Enrique, in all competitions, the Slovak international gradually lost the starting status with which he arrived.
His relatively low level of play would have led PSG leaders to consider selling him during this summer transfer window. Which surprises the main person concerned. “I didn’t pay attention to it. But it made my blood run cold when my family asked me about it. I didn’t hear anything like that from the coach or the club director, no one told me that I wasn’t counted on, that I had to look for a new club.”declared the former Inter Milan player during a press conference with his national team.
Skriniar stripped of his starting status
Victim of a dislocation of the lateral peroneals of the left ankle, Milan Skriniar had surgery at the beginning of the year. “Until my injury, I was one of the most important players on the team, he judges. The injury has slowed me down, yes, but I’m moving forward. Paris suited me, I never regretted taking the plunge. It’s an excellent club in every way. »
At the end of the season, the central defender was able to return to competition with the capital club. However, Luis Enrique never used it for important matches, such as the quarter and semi-finals of the Champions League or the final of the Coupe de France.
