Radu Drăgușin returned to the Tottenham team after 11 months of absence. The central defender was on the bench in the match with Liverpool, score 1-2. The chances of him becoming a starter at Spurs in the next period are low, and the Italians have advanced 3 names of Serie A teams that could enter the race for the transfer of the Romanian international in January.
Napoli, the titular champion, Roma and Fiorentina could approach the Drăgușin track. The Italians write about the option of a loan in January with a permanent transfer clause in the summer.
Radu arrived at Spurs two years ago, from Genoa, for 25 million euros. In January 2025, he was seriously injured in a match with Elfsborg, score 3-0, in the Europa League. He suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and has not entered an official match since.
Radu Drăgușin would have 3 options in Serie A, if he leaves Tottenham
“For January, the formula to convince Tottenham is a loan with a purchase clause. What a team. According to the information collected by us, Roma can think about Drăgușin, especially if the English would be open to the idea of a transfer. Napoli always appreciated him.
De Laurentiis called him before he reached the Premier League. The arrival of Fabio Paratici (no – the former sports director from Tottenham) to Fiorentina should also be kept under observation. The sporting director knows and appreciates the player and the option of an attempt to take him cannot be ruled out,” wrote the Italians from Tutto Mercato.
Radu Drăgușin is no stranger to Italian football, playing for Juventus, Salernitana and Genoa during his career. At Spurs he made 37 appearances in all competitions, 25 of them in the Premier League.
The centre-back has serious competition to return to Tottenham's squad. Mickey Van de Ven and Cristian Romero are the starters in the center of the defense, with Danso the third stopper option.
