The future of his career Radu Dragusin looks to be heading for a return to Serie A. His centre-back Tottenham it's back on his radar AC Milanwho also courted him two years ago, before he left Genoa. GSP.ro sources revealed that “this evening, the Rossoneri management has vigorously started discussions for the transfer of the 23-year-old Romanian international”.
Signals about the fact that the team in second place in the Italian championship intervened on the wire in the negotiations for the transfer of Drăgușin appeared last weekend, as reported by Gazeta Sporturilor.
AC Milan is strongly involved in the negotiations for Drăgușin!
Milan want to take advantage of Roma's delay in talks with Tottenham and the non-involvement in negotiations of RB Leipzig and Fiorentina, who tried to convince him to come through their new sporting director and former Spurs Fabio Paratici.
The sources consulted by GSP.ro in Milan claim that “AS Roma has no money to spend to bring a defender to Gasperini and will only focus on the possible transfers of a left defender and another striker in this January mercato”.

In this context, the signal, received this very evening, is that Milan decided to get heavily involved in the negotiations for Radu Drăgușin.
The club also proposes the formula of a loan until the end of the season, with the option to buy, included in the contract through a clause that depends on participation in European cups.
20million is the amount that Milan would approach for the total money paid to Tottenham for the transfer of Dragusin, including a few million for the loan
In this way, to build on the physical condition of the stopper, who played only six minutes last year after cruciate ligament rupture, “Milan would have a six-month break until they know for sure that they will return to the Champions League.”
Tottenham want an obligation to buy Drăgusin linked to Milan's qualification in any European competition
On the other hand, Tottenham intend to obtain an obligation to buy, perhaps linked to certain conditions, but not too difficult.
“At least for now, the clause related to a place in the top four in Serie A is excluded from the calculations of the Londoners, who proposed as a condition for the obligation of the definitive transfer the presence of Milan in any European cup.”

After 22 games, Massimiliano Allegri's side have a 5-point lead over Champions League leaders Juventus and 12 points ahead of seventh-placed Atalanta outside Europe.
Igli Tare (no- sports director) highly appreciates Drăgușin and has started preliminary discussions with the player's agents in the last few days, after he was offered to Milan. The price set by Spurs for the Romanian defender is 25 million euros, a figure considered significant, but not impossible

As alternatives to Radu Drăgușin, Italian sources say that Milan is considering the Spaniard Mario Gila (25 years old, Lazio) and the Croatian Ljubo Puljic (18 years old), from Bayern Munich.
Gazeta Sporturilor tried to get a statement from the player's representative, but Florin Manea could not be contacted.
