Skriniar spoke to the local media after the ceremony last night. “We won the title last season and we can repeat ourselves this term,” the defender said, as quoted by FCInternews.
Inter are currently placed third in the points table, having dropped points in their last two games. The Nerazzurri have 60 points from 29 games, six points adrift of the leaders AC Milan, but have a game in hand.
“We are a bit behind in the table, but Serie A is a balanced league and we’ll get back to winning ways soon. Milan and Napoli are ahead of us, but we have a game in hand. We want the title and we’ll do everything to do it.”
Skriniar played a pivotal role in Nerazzuri’s Serie A title triumph last season and has again been a key player this term as they look to defend their crown. The Slovakian has made 204 appearances for Inter, 30 of which have come in the 2021-22 season. The 27-year-old’s contract at San Siro expires in June 2023, but the Slovakia international hopes to extend his stay at the club.
“My contract runs out in 2023, but I think I’ll stay longer. I imagine that club directors are happy and want to offer me a new deal.”
Many Inter stars have recently extended their contracts with the Serie A champions. Alessandro Bastoni, Federico Dimarco, Nicolò Barella and Lautaro Martinez have all put pen to paper on new contracts over the last few months.
Marcelo Brozovic will be the next one and according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter will announce his extension today. Then it will be time to start negotiations with Skriniar.
