Koni De Winter

Koni De Winter came through Juventus's academy and spent a productive loan spell at Genoa before AC Milan made his move permanent in 2024. A physically imposing centre-back who is strong in the air and aggressive in his defensive duels, De Winter has taken time to establish himself at the highest level but has shown the technical foundation expected of a player developed in Italian football. For Belgium he competes for a starting berth in a central defence that is undergoing generational renewal. His partnership potential with Zeno Debast gives Belgium a young, left-footed pairing to build around.
