Atlético Madrid have identified Škriniar as a key target for next season. With Axel Witsel and César Azpilicueta expected to leave when their contracts expire in June 2025 and Clément Lenglet’s loan ending without guarantee of staying, the Madrid club are looking to strengthen their defense.

Fichajes reported on Friday, citing sources, that PSG are open to negotiating Škriniar’s departure for around €25 million, down from the original asking price of €35 million. This, along with Atlético’s recent income from the sale of Arthur Vermeeren, could make the transfer financially feasible.

Škriniar, known for his physical presence and extensive experience at the top level, would be a perfect fit for the plans of Atlético’s Argentine coach.
