Juventus are interested in signing a Tottenham Hotspur player in 2026, and it wouldn’t be the first time he was on the Italian club’s books.
One Spurs centre-back’s future has been the subject of huge speculation over the last week.
Radu Dragusin only returned to the pitch for the first time against Crystal Palace after recovering from his ACL injury, and he is now being heavily linked with a move away.
AS Roma are plotting a move to take Dragusin back to Italy, while it has also emerged over recent days that Inter Milan, AC Milan and Napoli have made enquiries about the Spurs defender.
Juventus enter the race for Tottenham’s Radu Dragusin
A new report in La Gazzetta dello Sport (as relayed by GFNI) has now claimed that the Bianconeri are ready to enter the race for the 23-year-old.
The outlet states that Luciano Spalletti wants to add reinforcements at the back, and Juventus have identified Dragusin as a top target.
The Romanian spent three years at the Turin giants as a youngster before making a move to Genoa in 2023, and he could now be set for a return to his former stomping ground.

The report reveals that Juve are particularly attracted to the Tottenham man as he knows the club’s environment well and is already a proven performer in Serie A.
One factor could boost Juve’s chances of landing Dragusin
Gazzetta claim that the potential catalyst for the deal could be the return of Marco Ottolini, who is set to join Juve as their sporting director.
Ottolini has a great connection with Dragusin, being the primary architect of the centre-back’s move to Genoa and later orchestrating his sale to Tottenham Hotspur.
It is suggested that the Spurs defender fits the mould that Ottolini is looking for, and the 45-year-old could prove key in unlocking a deal for the centre-back.
The outlet adds that Tottenham may be open to loaning out Dragusin in January if the right conditions are met.
