Following this morning\u2019s report<\/a>, Italian media are increasingly convinced Milan will go for Koni De Winter to replace Newcastle-bound Malick Thiaw, hoping to do a deal for just \u20ac20m.<\/p>\n

The initial impression when selling Thiaw to Newcastle United for over \u20ac40m<\/a> including add-ons was that they would reinvest all of it in signing Giovanni Leoni from Parma.<\/p>\n

However, after La Gazzetta dello Sport suggested this morning that they were leaning towards De Winter, multiple sources including Sky Sport Italia,<\/a> Sportitalia and Tuttomercatoweb all confirm the primary target is the Genoa defender.<\/p>\n

This is because he\u2019d only cost half as much, circa \u20ac18-20m compared to Parma\u2019s \u20ac40m asking price for 18-year-old Leoni.<\/p>\n

There would be an added cut of the sell on fee too.<\/p>\n

De Winter is also more experienced and coach Max Allegri knows him from their time at Juventus.<\/p>\n

Juve can also benefit, because they will receive 20 per cent of the future sale fee, as part of their agreement for the \u20ac8m transfer in 2024.<\/p>\n

There is no shortage of interest in the Belgium international, including from Serie A rivals Inter, but also the Premier League with Bournemouth and Tottenham Hotspur linked.<\/p>\n
