Koni de Winter has been linked with multiple Premier League clubs and Bournemouth have now emerged as a candidate to sign him.

Gazzetta dello Sport cover the Belgian’s situation today, stating that while Inter Milan are keeping an eye on him, the Cherries have ‘swooped in’ for his signature. The newspaper report Ilya Zabarnyi’s transfer to Paris Saint-Germain is edging close and Bournemouth will use the money earned to move for De Winter.

More information is provided by FCInterNews, who claim Andoni Iraola’s side are considering the defender but the player currently has other desires.

He is keen on a move to Inter, who will allow him to play in the Champions League and could also challenge for the Serie A title.

The 23-year-old isn’t particularly tempted by Bournemouth due to the absence of European football, with enquiries from Spain and Portugal also having arrived.

A major wage offer from the Cherries could yet appeal to the ex-Juventus youngster but for now, he has his sights set on Inter and Cristian Chivu’s side remain in pole position.

De Winter was a consistent performer for Genoa last season, playing 25 times in Serie A and scoring three times.
