This week, Tottenham’s Radu Dragusin has been linked with a move back to Serie A – with Fiorentina and Roma suggested as destinations.
His agent Florin Manea has spoken to DigiSport about the centre-back’s situation, as he has just returned to full fitness and was on the bench in the loss to Liverpool.
Manea clarified that the 23-year-old is looking to play often at Tottenham. If that doesn’t happen, he could seek an exit from the London giants.
He said – relayed by Il Nerazzurro: “There’s some speculation, and we’re analyzing it. The club doesn’t want to sell him right now. However, if the number of games he plays isn’t what we want, then we’ll take that into consideration. I’ll talk to him and we’ll evaluate together.”
Dragusin’s agent described his to be an open situation and no clubs have currently come forward.
“So far, no one has called me. It’s an open situation: there’s interest, even from England, but from smaller clubs. Italy remains a better option, because you’re joining a big team there. I haven’t spoken to Chivu, I just called to congratulate him.”
Manea went on to flirt with Inter and Nerazzurri boss Cristian Chivu, who is a compatriot.
The agent said: “I know Inter will be looking for a central defender in the summer. If we decide that Radu needs to play more until then, we’ll let them know, and maybe Chivu will call me too. He still has four and a half years left on his contract with Tottenham, but the injury has kept him out for eleven months.”
“I can’t allow him to spend another seven without consistency. We need to find a solution to get him playing. He’s 100% determined. Now let’s focus on January, and then we’ll see.”
This should come as a reminder to Tottenham about Dragusin’s availability in the side. It could also put pressure on Frank to use the Romania international often, with ex-manager Ange Postecoglou having often trusted the defender till last season.
