Napoli reportedly emerges as a new contender for former Inter defender Skriniar, casting doubt on his potential return to Italy despite ongoing negotiations.

Milan Skriniar Napoli: a new rival seeks to challenge Antonio Conte’s team ahead of the January transfer window.

According to the editorial team at ‘elgoldigital.com’, and later confirmed by SpazioNapoli, there are significant developments regarding the negotiations which could see Skriniar join Napoli.

It appears that Atletico Madrid has also entered the race for the former Inter defender.

A source at SpazioNapoli commented, “The interest from Atletico Madrid is genuine, and they are looking to outbid Napoli for Skriniar’s signature.”

This revelation presents a new twist in the saga as Napoli, under Antonio Conte’s guidance, were keen to bolster their squad with the Slovakian’s defensive prowess.

An insider from the Napoli camp stated, “We are aware of the competition, but our focus remains on securing the player.”

As the January window approaches, both clubs face a battle not just with each other, but also against the clock, to come to terms with Skriniar’s team.

Supporters of Napoli remain hopeful that their connection with Serie A will prove persuasive.

Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid fans are excited at the prospect of reinforcing their defence with a player of Skriniar’s calibre.

With both clubs vying for his attention, the upcoming weeks promise a compelling narrative in this transfer pursuit.
