The transfer window is alive with speculation as Genoa’s talented defender, Koni De Winter, has reportedly caught the eye of Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, managed by Stefano Pioli.
According to SportItalia, Pioli is said to be keenly interested in bringing the Belgian defender to the Riyadh-based team.
This potential move could see De Winter departing Genoa in the current transfer window, marking a significant shift for the 21-year-old player.
“The allure of working under a coach like Pioli, who has an impressive track record, could be enticing for De Winter,” a source close to the negotiations revealed to SportItalia.
While Genoa has yet to comment publicly on the speculation, the club may be preparing for discussions as Pioli’s interest intensifies.
Pioli himself was quoted saying to SportItalia, “De Winter is a promising talent with great potential, and he could certainly strengthen our squad.”
The transfer market remains unpredictable, and whether this rumoured move will materialise is yet to be seen.
As negotiations possibly unfold, Genoa supporters will be eager to learn if De Winter will stay with the club or embark on a new chapter in Saudi Arabia.
