Fabrizio Romano also reported that PSG and Al-Nassr are very likely to find an agreement over the terms of the transfer. However, Skriniar has not been very keen to leave the club, and the move will now depend on the player reaching an agreement with the Saudi Pro League side.
WHAT NEXT FOR PSG?
If the Ligue 1 champions do manage to sell the Slovakian, they will then look to sign a new central defender which Luis Enrique has asked the club to do as they aim to defend their title.
