In a late-night update, renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano sheds light on Tottenham Hotspur‘s ongoing pursuit of Genoa defender Radu Dragusin. The North London club has been engaged in talks with the Romanian talent for over a week, and the next 24 hours are poised to be decisive in the negotiations.
Tottenham closing in on Radu Dragusin signing
Tottenham, currently relying on Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero as their first-choice defensive pair, is in dire need of a central defender. Dragusin emerges as their top target, and negotiations have reached the final stages following the rejection of Tottenham’s initial bid by Genoa.
As revealed on Saturday, a second offer from Spurs is on the horizon. Romano’s update, shared at 11:04 pm, indicates Tottenham’s confidence in securing Dragusin in the coming days. The club aims to swiftly finalize the deal to bolster their defensive options, especially considering manager Ange Postecoglou’s reluctance to rely on Eric Dier.

Romano underscores the urgency by stating,
“Negotiations at final stages, key 24 hours ahead. FC Bayern have not sent any formal bid to Genoa for Dragusin so far.”
