Spurs and Newcastle monitoring Milan's De Winter

Written on 10 Nov 2026, before the latest reports. The ring above is live.

The situation

Tottenham and Newcastle are both among the clubs keeping tabs on Koni De Winter, the 24-year-old Belgium centre-back at AC Milan. The reporting describes scouting and monitoring, nothing firmer: no bid has been made, no price has been set, and De Winter is not pushing to leave. With no Premier League window open now, the earliest this could move is January 2027, which opens on 1 January and closes on 1 February. He has 42 months left on his Milan deal, running to 30 June 2030.

The reporting

TEAMtalk first reported it on 9 November, saying Spurs and Newcastle, along with Leeds and Brentford, are watching the defender. That is a single outlet, and no trusted reporter has backed it. Everyone carrying the story is a tabloid or an aggregator, so it rests on one claim and no more.

The outlook

The chance of anything happening by the February deadline is slim. This is monitoring, not negotiation. For it to become real, a Premier League club would need to turn interest into an actual approach, and the player himself is settled. There is a long way to travel from scouting to signing.

The context

For context on the money, Milan paid Genoa €20m for De Winter in 2025, and Genoa paid Juventus €11m for him in 2024. He is valued at €34m today, which sits well above what Milan laid out little over a year ago.

What happens next

The first real sign of movement would be a concrete offer lodged with Milan, or Newcastle firming up ahead of their rivals. Until a bid is tabled, this stays a watching brief.
