Inter and Juventus are looking to strengthen their backlines this summer, and they have added two young experts to their shortlists: the Nerazzurri want Koni de Winter, while the Old Lady wants Diego Coppola.
According to RMC Sport (via Mediaset), La Beneamata dispatched scouts to Genoa’s recent match against Empoli to have a close look at the centre-back. They’ve been in contact with his entourage in recent months. On the other side, they will have to pay €30 million to obtain him. They are expected to invest in the position. Milan was interested in the past, but no longer is.
While Inter would have to make a splash for De Winter, Juventus might pay €12 million on Coppola, according to L’Arena (via 90min). Despite his team’s setback on Monday, he performed admirably. The two management teams have been in communication. If they sign him, the Bianconeri will be in control.
The Verona youth product made his Serie A debut at the age of 17 and has steadily increased his playing time. He has appeared in 24 matches this season, matching last year’s total. He has six caps for Italy U-21.
Our Take on Inter and Juventus Eyeing De Winter and Coppola
The former is a promising possibility, but he may be too similar to Yann Aurel Bisseck and Benjamin Pavard to be an ideal match. They can always move parts about, but they’ll definitely pay more for someone who’s a perfect fit for the anchor job. The Scaligeri sensation is on the rise, but she still needs to gain experience before joining a major squad. Still, the Old Lady hasn’t been shy about children.
