The defender joined them on loan this season with a clause stipulating that the move would become permanent if he played 25 competitive games for Genoa.

He has already made 24 appearances and continues to be an important member of the first team.

De Winter has had a brilliant season at Genoa, and we expect him keep developing well at the home of the blue and red.

However, we are also open to taking him back in the summer if Genoa lets him leave. His performance this season has earned him a lot admirers, and he might even find a new team that will pay us a bigger transfer fee for his signature.
