According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Radu Dragusin is now edging closer to a move to Tottenham Hotspur despite attracting interest from a couple of other clubs.
An update on the competition between the Spurs and Atalanta for Dragusin is given in the report, which explains that the Serie A team will now focus on other center-back targets.
This is due to the competition they are now up against for the Romanian from other teams, “particularly Tottenham,” who are rumored to have “arguments” that get them closer to the €30–€35 million (£26–£30.3 million) cost that Genoa is requesting, a sum that Gian Piero Gasperini’s team believes is too expensive.
Radu Dragusin is getting closer to a Spurs move
Strangely, the source claims that although Barcelona is interested in Dragusin and is prepared to pay €30 million (£26 million) for the defender, the defender is currently rumored to be “close to Tottenham.”
The Catalan powerhouses are reportedly interested in the 21-year-old, according to Calciomercato, but Spurs are reportedly “betting heavily” on the center back and are prepared to pay “significantly” more than the La Liga powerhouses.
If Tottenham is moving closer to Dragusin, it may indicate that the Lilywhites have given up on chasing Jean Clair-Todibo. Spurs would have no problem outbidding Barcelona in the chase for the Romanian, especially considering their current financial difficulties.
