According to Dean Jones, Leeds United are among several English teams who have “checked in” on Juventus loanee Koni De Winter ahead of the summer transfer window.
Due to his impressive form, Wolves, Leicester City and West Ham United have expressed interest in signing the 21-year-old central defender.
De Winter is expected to finalize a permanent transfer to Genoa after activating a permanent provision in his loan deal, according to Sports Lens journalist Jones, despite the interest from Daniel Farke’s side.
Jones told GiveMeSport: “Any Wolves links to De Winter is interesting because I can understand why they would have needed to make contact by now.
“My information about this from checks with people in Italy is that he is expected to join Genoa permanently. As part of his move, there was a redemption obligation set at 23 appearances in Serie A, and he is currently at 22.
“Hence, I find it hard to imagine that there will be an opening for anything else to happen in that instance, but it’s an interesting rumour. I’m also told that Leicester, Leeds and West Ham have checked in on the situation.”
