Barcelona reportedly want to sign Inter's Milan Skriniar
Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo had claimed the Nou Camp club were gunning to land the Slovakian in January.
Barca’s technical director Robert Fernandez was said to be ready to plunder Italy for the best talent in Serie A.
But Skriniar’s agent has come out to deny the Inter player is going anywhere.
Speaking to Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, agent Karol Csonto said: “It can’t happen.
“He has his head on his shoulders and a great personality, it’s impossible for him to change teams.
“I’m very happy with the impact he’s had with Inter.”
