PSG speed up talks for Milan Skriniar and Renato Sanches

Paris Saint-Germain have stepped up the negotiations for top targets Milan Skriniar and Renato Sanches to complete the deals sooner, reports Foot Mercato.

PSG are among the busiest sides in the transfer window as they usher in a new era under manager Christophe Galtier and advisor Luis Campos.

The signings of Vitinha, Hugo Ekitike and most recently Nordi Mukiele mark a shift in the transfer strategy, as PSG have ditched their tradition of buying expensive players and instead want to build the squad around more youngsters.

Skriniar and Sanches could be next in line, with PSG looking to get the deals over the line.

Sanches is a handpicked option for Campos, whom he previously worked with at LOSC Lille.

The Portuguese midfielder has also been heavily linked with a move to AC Milan, but it now appears Les Parisiens are in pole position to sign him.

The 24-year-old is now keen on reuniting with Galtier, who brought the best out of him at Lille.

On the other hand, PSG have been working on the deal for Skriniar for a long time but with little progress.

Inter Milan are open to selling the Slovakian defender to balance the books but have declined PSG’s previous offers due to them not being up to the mark.

The Ligue 1 giants are now set for a new round of talks with Inter, hoping that the Italian giants could budge away from their €70 million valuation of Skriniar.

Premier League giants Chelsea have also been credited with an interest in the 27-year-old, but PSG hold the edge after agreeing personal terms.
