In 294 appearances across all competitions for the Serie A side, the Lazio midfielder has recorded 58 goals and 51 assists (via Transfermarkt).
Galtier and the Ligue 1 side's new sporting director Luis Campos believe that the 27-year-old can improve their squad immensely after already signing Portuguese midfielder Vitinha. The French side have been active in the transfer window in other departments as well, signing Portuguese left-back Nuno Mendes and French defender Nordi Mukiele.
According to Fichajes, the French side are more than willing to include a significant salary increase in the contract if the Serbian international decides to sign with the Parisians. However, the Roman side value the 27-year-old at a little under €100 million, exceeding the Ligue 1 side's bid by almost €20 million.
PSG considering a move for Inter Milan defender
According to Foot Mercato (via The Sun), PSG are set to hold talks with Inter Milan to sign Milan Skriniar. The 27-year-old has been on the French side's radar as a defensive reinforcement for their squad this summer.
As per the report, the Italian side have set an asking price of €80 million for the Slovakian international. The Parisians view this as an exorbitant request as Skriniar's contract expires in 2023. The Ligue 1 side are set to hold a meeting to negotiate a better price for the Inter Milan centre-half.
The 27-year-old has also been linked with Chelsea FC. Blues manager Thomas Tuchel is pushing to sign a centre-back this summer, following the departures of Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger.
However, the report claims that Skriniar is interested in a move to the Parc des Princes, and has already agreed personal terms in principle with the French side.
