After agreeing Valentin Carboni’s loan deal, Inter Milan and Genoa have opened talks for Koni De Winter.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri have raised the topic during negotiations for the Argentine starlet.

It’s no secret that Cristian Chivu’s men are in the market for a new defender.

Indeed, signing a new center-back is among Beppe Marotta’s top priorities.

Parma’s Giovanni Leoni is a dream target, but his staggering €40 million price tag remains a stumbling block.

Therefore, Koni De Winter has become a high priority for the San Siro club.

De Winter would cost much less than Leoni, with Genoa ready to sell the 23-year-old for €25m.

Meanwhile, the Griffins’ asking price is within Inter’s budget.

As such, Chivu’s charges view the Belgian center-back as an attainable target.

Furthermore, they’ve used talks for Carboni to explore a potential deal for the ex-Juventus star.

As for Carboni, the Nerazzurri hope he could fulfill his potential under Patrick Vieira following an injury-plagued campaign.
