Chelsea hoping to sign Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar… but the two clubs are far apart on their valuation of the 27-year-old Slovakian

  • Chelsea and Tottenham are both interested in Inter defender Milan Skriniar
  • Spurs boss Antonio Conte won Serie A with Skriniar two seasons ago at Inter
  • Both Chelsea and Tottenham are likely to have sizable transfer budgets this year 
  • The Blues are still chasing Sevilla defender Jules Kounde as a priority signing

Chelsea have asked about Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar but the clubs are understood to be some distance apart on valuation for the 27-year-old.

Antonio Conte’s Tottenham are also interested in the Slovakia international, and both clubs are likely to have substantial transfer funds available in the upcoming window.

Skriniar has hardly missed a game since signing for Inter in 2017, appearing 215 times.

He was a key part of the team that won Serie A in 2021, under Conte’s management. 

Inter could find themselves light on quality defenders with Alessandro Bastoni also being linked with a Premier League move.

Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel has been told he will be backed this summer and Sevilla’s Jules Kounde remains a priority.
