CM: ‘Following for months’ – Milan have upper hand as Napoli enter De Winter race | OneFootball

Koni De Winter has been one of the breakout stars in Serie A this season, and AC Milan are heavily interested in the defender.

It seems to be another summer where Milan are going to at least try to improve their defence. Last summer, upgrades were targeted. However, there is still a need for some defensive improvements, and above all, stability.

After all, this season the Rossoneri have suffered with having too many poor options, with Sergio Conceicao and Paulo Fonseca struggling to find a backline that they have stuck with consistently.

Therefore, it is no surprise that stability will hopefully be found via the mercato this summer, and De Winter is one of the top ideas at Casa Milan right now.

According to Calciomercato.com, the Rossoneri have been ‘following him for months’ and currently have the better position in the race for him in the summer, compared to Napoli, whose interest stems from Antonio Conte – which may be an advantage in itself.

It seems that it will only require €18 million to tempt Genoa to sell the Belgian star this summer, but with Malick Thiaw and Fikayo Tomori both being linked with moves away, it could be a bargain price.
