Manchester United targets Genoa defender Koni De Winter

Tottenham Hotspur are struggling under manager Ange Postecoglou in his second season. Recent injuries have hurt the team's progress. Although some players are returning, results remain poor. Changes to the squad are expected when the transfer window opens. One player Tottenham is interested in is Koni De Winter, a defender from Genoa. The 22-year-old joined Genoa from Juventus in 2023 and has played 49 times, scoring three goals. He has missed many games this season due to a hamstring injury, playing only 16 matches in Serie A. Despite this, he has impressed scouts from top clubs. Manchester United has also shown interest in De Winter. They are looking for a new defender after losing Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans at the end of the season. De Winter is valued at around €30-35 million. He has played well as both a center-back and a right-back for Genoa. Both Tottenham and Manchester United are having a tough season in the Premier League, sitting 14th and 13th in the table. However, they both remain in the Europa League, where they can still salvage their seasons. Winning this tournament could give one of these teams an advantage in attracting De Winter to join them.
