Koni de Winter was one of Genoa’s best players during the 2024/25 season and the defender is now at the centre of a gorwing transfer battle, with Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace said to be among those keen.
The Belgian played at right centre-back and left centre-back and also operated at right-back, showing his trademark versatility across the campaign.
Juventus and Inter Milan have been linked with the defender but Tottenham are emerging as a candidate to bring him to England.
Corriere dello Sport report Spurs are in the front row to sign De Winter, having scouted him multiple times during the 2024/25 season.
Genoa currently value the 23-year-old at €30m, and Crystal Palace were keen before Spurs moved into the picture.
The Rossoblu have shown no intention of giving discounts and there is an indication that interest from the two English sides is being used to keep the asking price high.
There’s no shortage of interest in the versatile player, and he appears a great squad option and someone who could compete for a starting place.
