With the next international break now upon us again and fans taking the chance to reassess their football betting UK predictions, there will inevitably be an uptick in the claims made on the speculation rumour mill, and we are of course, quickly heading towards the January transfer window which will open again when we roll through to the New Year. The 24 year old centre half is pretty well known on the Continent, and for those fans who the Italian Serie A closely, he will already be familiar to them as back in 2018 when Juventus signed him, he became the first Belgian player to ever represent the Old Lady.

Having later moved on to Genoa, in the summer of 2025 he signed for AC Milan and the now eight capped international defender has begun making quite the name for himself. Links with a centre half right now are perfectly sensible given the defensive issues Liverpool ave faced in more recent times, but De Winter is also pretty versatile.

It is being reported that we have already been actively scouting him with an eye to making a potential future move, but quite predictably for rumour mill claims, the speculation also name checks Manchester United and Chelsea as having a strong interest in him. It is likely that his name will continue to surface between now and the New Year, but it will be interesting to see whether or not we, or anyone else, take a punt on him in January and see if we can force AC's hand before his stock rises even further.
