AliousWith several months remaining before the **summer transfer window**, Wolves are already being linked with potential signings as they prepare for the challenges ahead.
Wolves Eye Defensive Reinforcements**
It has been a difficult season for Wolves, who remain in a precarious position regarding their **Premier League survival**. While they currently have a **five-point cushion** above the relegation zone, the battle to stay up is far from over. Their situation has been further complicated by the injury to **Matheus Cunha**, who will be sidelined for at least the next three matches.
If Wolves manage to **secure their top-flight status**, they are expected to use the summer transfer window as an opportunity to **rebuild and strengthen their squad**. Defensive reinforcements appear to be high on the agenda, with **Manchester United’s Victor Lindelof** among the names recently linked with a move to Molineux. Now, reports suggest they have revived interest in a familiar target from **Serie A**.
Wolves Reignite Interest in Koni De Winter**
According to **Rudy Galetti (TEAMtalk)**, Wolves are considering a move for **Genoa defender Koni De Winter**, a player they have been linked with on multiple occasions in the past. With long-term target status, this summer could finally see the club make a concrete bid for the Belgian center-back.
Although Wolves added **Emmanuel Agbadou and Nasser Djiga** to their defensive ranks in **January**, the backline still requires attention. **Craig Dawson** is set to leave at the end of the season, and **Yerson Mosquera** may need time to regain full fitness following a serious **knee injury**.
De Winter is reportedly viewed as a **”key defensive target”** for Wolves, and Genoa is **open to selling** him for around **£21 million**.
What De Winter Could Bring to Wolves**
At just **22 years old**, De Winter has been gaining recognition for his performances in Italy. One of his standout attributes is his **dominance in the air**—this season, he has won **71.6% of aerial duels**, significantly higher than Wolves’ **Emmanuel Agbadou (63.6%)**, who shares a similar height.
With his defensive abilities and physical presence, De Winter could be a valuable addition to Wolves’ squad, particularly if they aim to **strengthen their defensive stability** next season.
Potential Obstacles in the Deal**
However, Wolves face two major hurdles in their pursuit of De Winter.
1. **Premier League Survival:**
– Wolves must **retain their top-flight status** to attract players of De Winter’s caliber. If they are relegated, any potential move is likely to fall through.
2. **Competition from Inter Milan:**
– **Inter Milan** have reportedly shown strong interest in De Winter and even sent **scouts to watch him** in action against Empoli. If the Serie A giants make a move, Wolves could struggle to compete.
De Winter’s Transfer Preferences**
The Belgian defender is said to be **open to a move** to either **Serie A or the Premier League**, meaning Wolves have a chance—but only if they **stay up and act fast** before a club like Inter Milan swoops in.
