MILAN SKRINIAR’S reported contract refusal at Inter Milan has handed a transfer boost to Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
The defender is wanted by the Premier League sides as they hope to strengthen their backlines.
The Slovakian is considered one of the best central defenders in Serie A following his performances for Inter Milan.
However, he is now set on a move away from the San Siro as he rejected a new contract at the club, according to Calciomercato via Mundo Deportivo.
Inter are believed to be keen to keep hold of the 27-year-old after they resisted heavy interest from PSG to sell him last summer.
His current contract expires at the end of the season and the club and player are set to have a meeting on Friday to discuss terms again.
