Barcelona, Real Madrid to battle for Milan Skriniar deal?

Barcelona and Real Madrid are reportedly preparing to battle for the signature of Inter Milan centre-back Milan Skriniar.

The 24-year-old was linked with the likes of Manchester City and Manchester United over the summer before ultimately signing a new deal at San Siro.

Skriniar has been an ever-present for Inter during the 2019-20 campaign, but according to Corriere della Sera, the defender could be on his way out of the club in 2020.

The report claims that Antonio Conte's side could be willing to listen to offers for the Slovakia international in January, which has attracted the attention of Spain's two biggest clubs.

Skriniar, who started his professional career with Slovak club Zilina, joined Inter from Sampdoria in the summer of 2017 and has made 102 appearances for the Black and Blues in all competitions.

The defender's contract, which runs until the end of the 2022-23 campaign, reportedly does not include a release clause.
