Radu Dragusin (23 years old) is attracting increasing attention from Serie A, where his central defender Tottenham he confessed that he wants to come back. The Italian press writes that AC Milan asked again for information about the Romanian international, after re-entering the Napoli wire, who could make a double transaction with the London team.
As the deadline for the transfer period in Italy approaches (February 2), the number of clubs interested in the transfer of Radu Drăgușin is increasing. If the negotiations with AS Roma have entered stand-by, as the Giallorossi are postponing discussions for the last days of the mercato, needing a stopper after Hermoso's accident, two alternatives appeared, not necessarily new from Serie A.
AC Milan has only one reserve for the three starting stoppers
A journalist from Turin focused on transfers this winter writes about the fact that “AC Milan again requested information in the last hours about Radu Drăgușin”. The Rossonero devil courted him in July 2024, half a year before Genoa sold him for 25 million euros from Tottenham.
Milan would have proposed to Genoa Matteo Gabbia as a guarantee for blocking Drăgușin in the perspective of the transfer. Napoli tried to do the same thing a month earlier, with Radu being added to the Azzurri's list for the 2024-2025 season. The champion wanted to give two footballers in exchange for him: Gianluca Gaetano and Alessio Zerbin.

Now Antonio Conte is thinking of bringing in another stopper, considering that Alessandro Buonguorno would be tempted to go to Tottenham himself. The English press claims that the defender bought by Napoli from Turin is unhappy that he is not playing more, having competitors Rrahmani, Beukema and Juan Jesus, and would be attracted to the Premier League.
Milan sit in four central defenders, De Winter (Drăgușin's former colleague at Genoa) being the Rossoneri's only reserve for Tomori, Gabbia and Pavlovic. Coach Massimiliano Allegri met Radu in the 2018-2019 season, when the Romanian was playing for Juventus U17.
