# Tottenham: Lilywhites eyeing 2023 move for Skriniar

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) are ‘seriously reflecting’ on a 2023 summer move for Inter Milan star defender Milan Skriniar, according to reports.**

### The Lowdown: Skriniar deal running out…

The Slovakia international star has a deal at Inter which expires in June 2023, meaning Spurs and any other interested party could snap up Skriniar as a free agent next summer.

It is believed that meetings between the player’s entourage and Inter [will take place between September and October](https://www.fcinternews.it/esclusive/i-fcin-i-rebus-skriniar-il-psg-pronto-a-riprovarci-subito-e-si-fa-sotto-la-premier-l-inter-ora-deve-accelerare-905218) with the view of renewing his contract at the San Siro.

However, there is [also a feeling](https://www.fcinternews.it/esclusive/i-fcin-i-rebus-skriniar-il-psg-pronto-a-riprovarci-subito-e-si-fa-sotto-la-premier-l-inter-ora-deve-accelerare-905218) that both Skriniar and the Nerazzurri are far apart in terms of agreeing on a salary with there still being some middle ground to find before an agreement is reached.

This could hand the Lilywhites a chance to bring Inter’s star defender to the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) on a Bosman next year, something Fabio Paratici and co are apparently contemplating.

### The Latest: Spurs eye 2023 move…

According to [FC Inter News](https://www.fcinternews.it/esclusive/i-fcin-i-rebus-skriniar-il-psg-pronto-a-riprovarci-subito-e-si-fa-sotto-la-premier-l-inter-ora-deve-accelerare-905218), Tottenham, Chelsea and Paris-Saint Germain hold an interest with the two English sides weighing a 2023 swoop for the central defender.

Indeed, the north Londoners are apparently ‘seriously reflecting on an investment’ that would prove viable given Skriniar’s possible status as a free agent.

Of course, this will all depend on whether the 27-year-old does in fact renew his Inter deal.

### The Verdict: Get it done…

If Skriniar doesn’t sign a new contract, this move is surely a no-brainer from Paratici’s perspective.

As per [WhoScored,](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/75/Archive/Italy-Inter?stageId=19982) the defender finished 2021/22 as a mainstay in Inter’s side with only goalkeeper Samir Handanovic playing more minutes than Skriniar in Serie A.

As well as this, he completed a higher pass accuracy ([92.9%](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/75/Archive/Italy-Inter?stageId=19982)) than any one of Simone Inzaghi’s regulars whilst averaging their second-highest rate of clearances per 90 [(WhoScored).](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/75/Archive/Italy-Inter?stageId=19982)

These numbers back previous verdicts on Skriniar with pundits having called him [‘world class’](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-told-to-sign-world-class-skriniar-after-brilliant-reveal-robinson/) and a signing which makes ‘[perfect sense](https://tothelaneandback.com/2022/08/04/spurs-tottenham-hotspur-transfer-shaka-hislop-chelsea-milan-skriniar/)‘ for Antonio Conte.
