He's already earning a name for himself in Serie A and, according to sources in Italy, caught the eye of Atlético Madrid. Slovakian centre-back Milan Škriniar has carved out a first choice place in the side with Inter Milan and the national team. He is also one of the priorities Atlético have lined up for next season. Italian website Calciomercato.it report that the Spanish club made enquiries during the summer but it looks like they will have a job on their hands as Inter consider the talented 22-year-old untouchable.

Since the start of the new season, Simeone and his technical staff have been aware that there are holes to be filled in central defence which is why the likes of Giménez., Savic and Lucas have been drafted in to fill either of the two central positions. Atleti want to return to be the solid, defensive team of seasons gone by and make sure that opponents don't punish them with high balls into the box. The five goals the team has conceded so far in LaLiga have all come from headers. Reports on Škriniar have been excellent and those close to the player say he would be open to furthering his career in the Spanish game.
