Report – Inter Milan Name Parma & Genoa Stars Top Defensive Priorities | OneFootball

Parma’s Giovanni Leoni and Genoa’s Koni De Winter remain at the top of Inter Milan’s shortlist this summer.

According to Sportitalia via FCInter1908, they are the two top defensive targets for the Nerazzurri this summer.

Despite refusing to terminate Francesco Acerbi’s contract, Inter are trying to add to Cristian Chivu’s defensive options.

Indeed, they’ve already identified their priorities.

Giovanni Leoni is on top, but Parma’s €40 million asking price could throw a spanner in the works.

Chivu dreams of reuniting with the 18-year-old at San Siro.

However, Inter cannot afford to match Parma’s request. Furthermore, Liverpool have recently joined the race for Leoni.

Therefore, they’ve shifted their attention toward Koni De Winter.

At 23, the ex-Juventus youngster still has ample room for improvement.

Nonetheless, he enjoyed an impressive 2024/25 season at Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

Moreover, his versatility makes him a perfect candidate to replace Yann Bisseck, who could move to the Premier League.

It’s also worth noting that the two deals are not mutually exclusive.
