Radu Drăgușin’s name is set to remain on the radar of European clubs during the summer transfer window.
The Romanian centre‑back has barely featured for Tottenham this season, playing only a handful of minutes, and is keen to move on in search of regular game time. Milan held long talks with his representatives in January, exploring both a loan with an option to buy and a permanent deal. Spurs, however, are not keen on temporary solutions and would prefer a straight sale.
Napoli and Roma have also shown interest. Roma’s pursuit slowed due to changes in their squad planning, while Napoli continued discussions with Tottenham. Fiorentina considered Dragusin as part of their defensive search, but the player’s camp dismissed that option. Sky Sports Italy report that the player doesn’t want a loan; he wants to be sold.
Tottenham are demanding between €20–25 million for the defender, a figure that does not align with Milan and Napoli’s proposals involving loans plus purchase options. The Premier League club’s stance aligns with the player: they want a permanent transfer.
Radu signed in January 2024 from Genoa for around €25 million, making him the most expensive Romanian player at the time. He suffered a major ACL injury in early 2025, missing nearly a year, and has since returned but has struggled to secure consistent minutes under the new management (Thomas Frank appears to have taken over).
Recent performances, including a poor showing in a match against Manchester City, have fuelled speculation about his future, with some fans suggesting Tottenham should be open to selling him.
Dragusin himself is eager to join a project where he can play consistently, which makes a summer move increasingly likely. Reports also suggest RB Leipzig is monitoring his situation and could step in with a permanent offer. With several clubs circling, competition for his signature is expected to heat up, and Tottenham’s asking price will be the key factor in negotiations.
