Liberated to European Championships? ‘De Winter has a complete grasp of the transfer’

Now that the number of selected players has been increased to 26 players, several additional Red Devils are eligible for a European Championship ticket. One of the boys who may benefit from the rule change is Koni De Winter. In the meantime, the young defender has already forced a permanent transfer.

During the last international break, national coach Domenico Tedesco decided to carry out some experiments. For example, De Winter was brought into the group for the first time. He also started against Ireland. Although the Devils played a fairly dramatic practice game, the defender himself did more than decently.

Whether that will also earn him a selection for the European Championship remains to be seen in the coming weeks. But there is no doubt that De Winter has a bright future as an international player. He was also a fixture in the national youth selections. And he also made an impression at club level at a young age.

Major breakthrough in Genoa

De Winter has now grown into a permanent basic employee there. And the young Belgian was already able to make quite an impression in Genoa. This season he has already played 31 games, most of them as a titular player. And those good performances not only earned him his first selection for the Devils.

Clause of 8 million

Now that the club is assured of retention, the purchase option will be removed from his lease agreement. Juventus would receive around 8 million euros for this. Although Genoa seems to be planning to sell him for a multiple in the long term. Bee The newspapaer they add that De Winter will sign a contract until mid-2028.
