Transfer news: Agent reveals Man Utd, Man City, Real Madrid and Barcelona deadline twist
ONE of Europe’s biggest clubs have seen a £57million bid for Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar rejected on deadline day.
Man Utd, City, Real Madrid and Barcelona are all linked with Milan Skriniar
Manchester United, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona have all been named as suitors for the 22-year-old.
But Inter Milan have refused to do business today after one of the four sides launched a late offer for the Slovakia international.
According to Slovakian website Sport.ak, his agent Karol Csonto has received an offer for the young defender.
But Inter are not interested in losing Skriniar.
“I do not want to really specify,” Csonto told the outlet.
“But I can confirm that one of those clubs made an offer and it was at £52.5m to £57m.”
One of those clubs made an offer
Manchester City broke their transfer record to sign Aymeric Laporte from Athletic Bilbao earlier this week - in a £57m deal.
Express Sport understands they were considering Skriniar back in December.
United, meanwhile, have focused more on strengthening their forward line with the arrival of Arsenal striker Alexis Sanchez.
Barcelona also splashed the cash this winter on Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool.
But Real, who have endured a miserable season especially at the back, have refused to sign anyone this month.
Skriniar only joined Inter from Sampdoria last summer and has already become a key part of their domestic campaign.

The defender boasts 24 appearances for the season and has picked up just three yellow cards.
He signed a five-year contract when arriving at the San Siro and Inter are in no mood to sell.
The club are still in the top-four race in Serie A, although a title challenge may be over as they sit 13 points off league leaders Napoli.
