Report – Genoa & Feyenoord Stars Shore Up Inter Milan Shortlist Of Targets To Strengthen Defense
This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.
One of the remaining priorities for Inter Milan this summer is to sign a defender.
The Nerazzurri are keen to lay the groundwork for the future of their backline considering the ages of key players like Stefan de Vrij and Francesco Acerbi.
And there is no question who Inter's top target is. Parma defender Giovanni Leoni is nineteen years of age, and Inter fully believe that he has all the qualities to be their future in defense.
However, negotiations with Parma for Leoni will not be easy. The Emilian club don't want to sell the teenager, whilst their valuation would be at least €40 million.
De Winter & Hancko Shore Up Inter List Of Defensive Targets
Therefore, the Gazzetta dello Sport report, Inter are also working on a couple other fronts.
One possible target in defense for the Nerazzurri would be Genoa's Koni De Winter.
The former Juventus defender has enjoyed an excellent season with Genoa. Therefore, he has convinced Inter that he has the right qualities for their back three.
The Grifone would demand a fee of €25-30 million to sell De Winter this summer.
Meanwhile, the Gazzetta report, Inter have also identified Feyenoord defender David Hancko as a target.
The Dutch giants would demand a fee of around €25-30 million for the 28-year-old, similar to what Genoa want for De Winter.
