Man Utd are one of three Premier League clubs interested in former Juventus player Koni De Winter
Koni De Winter has been linked with Manchester United and the 23-year-old Belgian defender has once again appeared on the radar for the Red Devils.
The Belgium international has been with current side Genoa since 2023, having previously been on loan before the switch was made permanent in 2024.
Koni De Winter was at Juventus when he was first loaned out to Genoa, which included an obligation for the Serie A outfit to buy him from the Old Lady.
The former Juventus player has impressed at Genoa and CaughtOffside now reports that transfer interest is ‘intensifying’ from the Premier League over De Winter.
According to the publication, both United and Tottenham are ‘actively monitoring’ De Winter’s progress and West Ham are ‘ready to move decisively’ for the player.

Man Utd face intense transfer battle from clubs in Europe in the race to sign Tottenham-linked Koni De Winter from Genoa
Koni De Winter only made two appearances for the Juventus senior team before the defender, who can play as a centre-back or as a full-back, departed from the club.
However, the Belgium international has been afforded more first-team opportunities at Genoa and De Winter has made 57 appearances for the Italian club so far.
CaughtOffside claims that the transfer interest for De Winter ‘isn’t limited’ to the Premier League and there is a ‘growing international demand’ for the player.
It is claimed that both Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich are interested in De Winter, who is viewed as a ‘tactically adaptable’ defender for both clubs.
De Winter is also subject to transfer interest from Serie A clubs as well, with defending Italian champions Napoli, Inter Milan and Roma all ‘keeping tabs’ on him.
De Winter is under contract with Genoa until 2028 and the versatile United-linked defender is believed to be valued between €30m and €35m in the market.
