Inter Milan targets Genoa’s De Winter amid Premier League interest

The Nerazzurri begin talks for the 2002-born Belgian defender, also pursued by English clubs

Not only is Luis Henrique a priority — with negotiations at an advanced stage between Inter Milan, the player, and Marseille — but the Nerazzurri are also working on bolstering their defense.

According to Italian international reporter, football transfers expert Di Marzio via Fcinter1908.it, “Genoa’s Belgian defender Koni De Winter has caught Inter Milan’s eye, along with several Premier League clubs who have also shown interest. 

Transfer talks just beginning as Inter Milan plan defensive reinforcements

Inter Milan have long been working to prepare for the upcoming transfer window. For their backline, the club has made an inquiry about Genoa’s Koni De Winter.

It’s still early days for this deal, and far from a concrete move. However, various English clubs have already contacted the Serie A side for information about the former Juventus player,” adds the transfer expert.

Koni De Winter is a Belgian central defender, born on June 12, 2002.

De Winter is not just a promising name — he’s already shown he can handle the demands of Serie A. Comfortable with both feet, physically strong, and tactically aware, he fits the profile of a modern centre-back. 

His development through Juventus’ academy and his subsequent experiences with Empoli and Genoa have accelerated his growth. 

Inter Milan sees in him a potential long-term solution for their defensive line, while Premier League scouts appreciate his adaptability and football IQ.

Inter Milan’s summer is starting to heat up as they aim to be ready ahead of the Club World Cup.
