Romano: ‘Here we go!’ – Milan and Genoa agree €20m deal for De Winter

AC Milan and Genoa have agreed a deal over central defender Koni De Winter worth €20m, according to a report.

Giovanni Leoni and Pietro Comuzzo were among the names initially linked, but then an acceleration came for De Winter. Now, a deal has been struck which will see the Belgian join from Genoa, presuming all the final bits go to plan.
