On November 21st, Radu Drăgușin’s agent Florin Manea revealed that he held talks with Tottenham Hotspur in London over a potential deal for the Genoa star. Three days later, the player talked about his dream of moving to the Premier League.
The centre-back has managed a goal and an assist from 15 games this season and his form has seen several clubs take notice.
According to Calciomercato.it, there are many clubs ‘crazy about’ the 21-year-old and the list includes Tottenham. They add he ‘risks being one of the big protagonists’ in January.
Tottenham are named as one of the interested parties from England, and they have joined AC Milan in the chase to sign the defender.
On Thursday, ProSport reportedd Manchester United are in the picture to sign Drăgușin.
“He’s on several lists, really. For now, there is nothing concrete, let’s have a written offer or something, but I am in London, I will have meetings all week,” he said,
“He will probably move in the summer at the latest, I understand that Genoa also has some problems, they have to give some money to the state.”
The defender’s deal lasts until 2027 and recent claims have stated the Serie A side want to hand him a new contract. His agent has insisted there won’t be a renewal if a €30m release clause is not included in it.
“At the moment I haven’t signed the contract extension, I’m going to the Juventus match on the 15th and we’ll talk then,” Manea explained.
“That’s what I want to ask them [€30m release clause], yes. Well… who wants to put in a termination clause? If they don’t put it in, I don’t sign and then they have a problem. In the summer he has two years left on his contract and, think about it, he goes to Europe.
“If they don’t sell us then, they don’t get along with us, he’s in the last year of the contract, what do they do with him then?”
