PSG links to Juventus’ Nicoló Fagioli shut down | OneFootball

A rumour shut down as quickly as it was evoked: Fabrizio Romano has denied reports in Italy that Paris Saint-Germain are considering a move for Juventus midfielder Nicoló Fagioli (23).

La Gazzetta dello Sport had touted PSG as a potential destination for Fagioli, who according to the Italian media, could have been used as a makeweight in the deal to bring Milan Škriniar (29) to Turin. The Slovakian international is out-of-favour at the Parc des Princes and therefore the reigning Ligue 1 champions are not opposed to a departure this January, whilst Juventus, following an injury to Gleison Bremer, are in the market for a centre-back.

However, PSG are not keen on a loan deal and would prefer to offload Škriniar on a permanent basis. Selling Fagioli to Les Parisiens as part of the deal would have allowed Juventus to raise the funds to make a move for Škriniar, however, Romano understands that PSG are not working on a deal to sign Fagioli, valued at €25m, adding that Juventus are not looking to sell the midfielder in January.
