Inter defender update plan starts: Leoni s price is too high to convert target, Caboni becomes a bargaining chip

Inter Milan strives to lower their age structure in the offseason, and their strategy of introducing newcomers continues. According to the "Milan Sports Daily", Inter Milan is interested in Genoa defender De Winter, hoping to complete innovations at the defender to enhance overall strength and lay the foundation for future development.

Inter Milan needs to introduce a new defender this summer. Their main players are too old (such as Ache, Rice, etc.). Previously, their target was Parma's 18-year-old Leoni. Although Ziwo is a mediator, it is obvious that the other party does not want to cut the price. Although the talks are allowed, he has attracted the attention of many wealthy families, so he insists on asking for a price of 40 million euros and refuses to cut the price, which makes it difficult for Inter Milan to get Leoni. This price is simply unaffordable by Inter Milan.

In this case, Inter Milan has turned to consider other defenders, such as Genoa's Dwynter. Derwent, 23, is a Belgian international. He joined Genoa in 2023 and has been Genoa's main defender in the past two seasons. In fact, Inter Milan has been following Derwent since last summer, and he was included in the list of potential signings for Marlotta and Osirio.

However, Inter Milan faces two major problems if they want to sign Derwent. First, Genoa asks Derwent for 30 million euros, which is not low; secondly, Inter Milan faces competition from youth training echelons such as Tottenham and Atlanta, and they will give new players relatively more opportunities. In this regard, Inter Milan also put forward a condition to attract Genoa, that is, to join Valentine Caboni in the transfer negotiations of Dwent.

Valentine Caboni was selected for the Argentina national team last year, but suffered a serious injury to the cruciate ligament of his knee after being loaned to the Marseille last season, which interrupted his growth. However, Valentine Caboni has returned from injury and has scored a goal for Inter in the Club World Cup this summer, playing an important role. Therefore, Genoa recognized him. If he is added to this transfer, the other party will lower the asking price, which is a good thing for Inter Milan.
