According to sources at Football Insider, there’s a newfound sense of optimism at Tottenham Hotspur regarding the potential acquisition of Radu Dragusin this month, in spite of earlier concerns arising from remarks made by the player’s agent.
Initial reports earlier in the week hinted at a swift conclusion, with reputable journalist Fabrizio Romano suggesting that Dragusin’s transfer to Spurs was imminent, with personal terms already agreed. The urgency has been heightened by injuries to Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, compelling Spurs to swiftly bolster their central defensive options under Ange Postecoglou.
However, the pursuit of Dragusin has been met with unanticipated complexity. The player’s agent indicated in a discussion with TV Play that Dragusin could potentially remain in Italy, citing a price range of €25-30 million (£21.5-25.9 million) as a threshold for a potential move.
Subsequently, reports from La Repubblica via Napoli Magazine suggested a divergence in valuations, with Genoa reportedly seeking closer to €35 million (£30 million) for Dragusin, leading to impending discussions with Spurs.
More recent insights from sources at Football Insider paint a positive picture, suggesting that discussions have taken an encouraging turn, with Tottenham now expressing confidence in finalizing the transfer within this month.
Despite the attempts by the player’s agent, Florin Manea, to cast doubt on the move, it appears that Dragusin’s move to Spurs is nearing completion following these “new talks.” The reported nature of the transfer indicates a permanent agreement, with Genoa purportedly rejecting a loan proposal.
There is a strong sense of belief that this deal will come to fruition by the weekend, as developments seem to be aligning in a positive direction. It’s suggested that the player’s agent might be endeavoring to negotiate a more favorable deal for his client, as opposed to creating substantial barriers for Spurs in securing the transfer.
