According to Dean Jones, Leeds United are one of several English clubs that have “checked in” on Juventus loanee Koni De Winter ahead of the summer transfer window.
Wolves, Leicester City, and West Ham United have expressed interest in signing the 21-year-old centre defender, citing his good form.
De Winter is poised to complete a permanent transfer to Genoa after exercising a permanent provision in his loan agreement, according to Sports Lens journalist Jones, despite interest from Daniel Farke‘s club.
Jones told GiveMeSport: “Any Wolves links to De Winter are intriguing because I can see why they would have needed to make contact by now.
“According to my sources in Italy, he is set to sign a permanent contract with Genoa. As part of his transfer, he was given a redemption obligation of 23 Serie A appearances, of which he now has 22.
“As a result, I find it difficult to believe that anything more could happen in that situation, although it is an intriguing rumour. I’m also told that Leicester, Leeds, and West Ham have inquired about the matter.
Leeds United are looking to sign additional players.
Leeds United are likely to be active in the transfer market as they prepare for promotion to the Premier League.
Although Joe Rodon has performed admirably for the Whites while on loan from Tottenham, Leeds are concerned whether they will be able to afford to sign the Welshman permanently.
Farke has Leeds United flying in the Championship this season, and he should be given the opportunity to strengthen the squad in order to avoid another relegation scenario.
De Winter, at 21, has a remarkable combination of talent and physicality.
Although a knee injury suffered during the previous season at Empoli temporarily halted his career, his strong performances at Genoa have piqued the interest of premier teams around Europe once more.
