Earlier this week, Corriere dello Sport reported AS Roma are ready to push again for Tottenham’s Radu Dragusin.
Talk had faded away for some days after a rejected offer for the defender. However, during their win over Torino, the Italian side saw Mario Hermoso pick up an injury.
This is making them return for the Romanian, who is keen on a switch to the Italian capital. His agent Florin Manea has a similar opinion, which has been publicly clear for weeks now.
Today’s Corriere dello Sport explains Dragusin got married in Bucharest on Tuesday. He sees this as a new period of his life which he can also start with a switch to Roma.
Giallorossi owner Ryan Friedkin has given the green light to pursue the Tottenham player. As a result, sporting director Ricky Massara is pushing hard and even on Tuesday, the wedding day, he held talks with Manea for the centre-back.
He wished the player well for his married life but a transfer to Rome was also discussed.
Tottenham want €20m upfront or an obligation to buy in the deal. They do not want the Romanian back in the squad for their summer training camp.
Roma are increasingly positive. This is largely because Dragusin has agreed to join, agreeing personal terms over a move. This is ‘weighing like a milestone’ during discussions with Spurs.
Talks today on Tottenham transfer
RB Leipzig have been linked, but for now Roma have no concerns about the German club’s involvement in the deal. That fits with claims local to Leipzig, which have described the links as agent noise.
Dragusin is keen on returning to Italy after an impressive spell at Genoa. Today, he will be back in London after his wedding. His agent is also in the English capital, and there’ll be further exit talks.
The 24-year-old wants the move and it’s just a case of dragging it over the line. Now is the time for Dragusin’s talkative agent to earn his money.
