Inter and Bournemouth could fight for 30m-rated former Juventus defender | OneFootball

Thursday’s reports claim that Inter and Bournemouth have both identified Genoa’s Koni De Winter as a potential replacement for Yann Bisseck and Illia Zabarnyi, who have both been linked with moves away from their respective clubs.

Reports Inter and Bournemouth monitoring De Winter

According to reports from Calciomercato.com, Inter, who are also targeting the signing of Ademola Lookman from Atalanta, are also looking at strengthening in other areas of the pitch.

Thursday’s reports claim that De Winter is still among Inter’s ideal candidates to come in if they go into the market for a new defender, given his age, profile and experience in Serie A.

The De Winter links come just one day after Crystal Palace saw a €32m bid for Nerazzurri defender Yann Bisseck turned down.

Calciomercato suggests that a fee in the region of €25m-€30m could be enough to convince Genoa into selling De Winter, who joined the club for a fee of around €8m after an initial loan from Juventus.

Juventus will also be entitled to a 20% cut of De Winter’s next move.

There is, however, also interest in the Belgium international from the Premier League, specifically from Bournemouth, who will also need to find a replacement defender if Zabarnyi leaves for Paris Saint-Germain.
