While a lot was made by Radu Dragușin’s agent about Bayern Munich’s late interest in the defender before he signed for Tottenham, Napoli were also very keen.
Seeing yet another Serie A defender go to England instead of moving to one of the bigger clubs in the league has been a bitter pill to swallow for many, including journalist Luca Marchetti, who gave his two cents on the deal to Radio Marte, relayed by Napoli Magazine.
Speaking about the various moves the Naples side have made, are making and have failed to make, he uses Dragușin’s transfer to Tottenham as an example of the reality many clubs in Italy live in.
This is something we see very often in Italy after a big transfer to the Premier League, with many wondering why another player has slipped through the fingers of large Italian clubs.
After all, they are closer than most to watch them and be informed, and moving early could be the remedy to all this.
Either way, Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou won’t care one bit, as they have their man, having paid a lot of money for him, which they were prepared to do from the off.
