According to La Gazzetta Dello Sport, Paris Saint-Germain wants to include their German player Julian Draxler in the contract deal with Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar, but Inter will sell their star defender for a cash offer only. The Nerazzurri rejected an offer of €50 million earlier this month, but PSG is still trying to reach an agreement with Inter. According to the newspaper, the new offer from Paris is €60 million in addition to Julian Draxler, but Inter does not want to enter any player in a swap deal and only wants to deal in cash in the Skriniar deal. Inter would like to earn more than €60m from Mercato this summer and reduce Inter's salary bill by 10-15%, so getting another player in a swap deal will not help the Nerazzurri achieve their goal.
