Tottenham to see off Juventus AND Inter?! Spurs lead €30m transfer race for Serie A defender

<p>Per <a href="https://sportwitness.co.uk/tottenham-can-now-muscle-away-london-rival-spurs-scouted-player-multiple-times/" target="_blank">Corriere dello Sport</a>, Spurs are interested in signing Genoa defender De Winter this summer as they look for potential replacements to Cristian Romero. The Argentine has been heavily linked with a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristian-romero-flirt-with-atletico-madrid-spurs-defender-reiterates-love-to-play-in-la-liga/blt1eefaad10db15cd1" target="_blank">potential move to Atletico Madrid</a>, and a deal to sign the Belgium international could see the green-light given for Romero to move on. Spurs have already <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tottenham-agree-shock-deal-japanese-centre-back-kota-takai-kawasaki-frontale-j-league-record-fee/bltf890fb3f3399138a" target="_blank">agreed a £5 million ($7m) deal to sign Kota Takai</a>, another centre-back, from Kawasaki Frontale.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Juventus and Inter Milan are also reported to be interested in De Winter but Spurs have now emerged as a potential candidate to bring the defender to England. The 23-year-old, who has won three caps for Belgium, has made 57 appearances for Genoa and offers the versatility to play at right-back as well as centre-back. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>De Winter came through the youth academy at Juve but he was repeatedly loaned out, joining Empoli in 2022/23 and then Genoa on loan in 23/24. The latter signed the defender permanently for an overall package worth €10 million (£8.5m/$12m), and the club are now seeking around €30m (£25.5m/$35m) if they are to sell this summer, meaning they are set to make a tidy profit. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>As well as Spurs, Juve, and Inter, Crystal Palace are also reported to be interested in signing De Winter this summer. It remains to be seen if he will be on the move, but there are no shortage of suitors. </p>
