De Winter: Liverpool among scouting admirers, no bid yet
The situation
Koni De Winter's name is circulating again as a Liverpool target, with Manchester United and Chelsea also named as interested parties and Newcastle, Tottenham, Leeds and Brentford said to have sent scouts to watch him. The defender joined AC Milan from Genoa in August 2025 and the reporting is clear that he is not pushing for a move away. There is no bid, no asking price and no agreement of any kind, just scouting interest and speculation about his future, with no window open for Premier League clubs to act on it until January 2027.
The reporting
CaughtOffside first reported it on 6 November, naming Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea as the main suitors alongside a longer list of scouting clubs. Transfer News Live repeated that report on 7 November and again on 9 November, adding the detail that De Winter is not angling for an exit but changing little else. That means three posts trace back to one source, and no trusted reporter has backed any part of it.
The outlook
Given all that, this sits closer to background noise than an active deal. For it to move anywhere, one of the interested clubs would need to make an actual approach, Milan would need to signal they might sell, and De Winter himself would need to change his stance on leaving, none of which the reporting suggests is close. As things stand it looks a longshot for January.
The context
De Winter is valued at €34m, a figure above the €20m Milan paid Genoa for him in 2025, though no club has offered anything near it.
What happens next
Any shift here would start with a concrete bid being lodged once the January window opens, or with Milan showing willingness to negotiate a sale.
