Inter target Genoa defender Leo Ostigard as De Vrij replacement after World Cup goal

Inter Milan have identified Genoa centre‑back Leo Ostigard as a potential replacement for Stefan de Vrij, whose contract expires in less than two weeks. With de Vrij away on World Cup duty for the Netherlands, Inter may need to act quickly if he declines a new deal. Ostigard, who scored a header in Norway’s 4‑1 victory over Iraq at the 2026 World Cup, has attracted interest after a strong tournament performance.

Genoa have placed a €15 million price tag on Ostigard, which could rise following his World Cup display. Inter are also monitoring defender Yann Bisseck, linked with Premier League clubs. The Norwegian’s 30 Serie A appearances last season and five league goals underline his reputation as a high‑scoring defender, making him a notable target for the Serie A champions as they plan a defensive overhaul.
