Radu Drăgușin’s agent, Florin Manea, has admitted the Tottenham Hotspur defender is ‘amazed’ by the late January interest in him.
Digi Sport have an interview with the Romanian agent today. He discusses the late moves being made for his client, and tells club they know where he is.
Drăgușin has been heavily linked with a move away from Tottenham this month. He’s recently returned from a long-term knee injury and wants to be playing regularly.
That seems unlikely to happen under Thomas Frank. The Dane has stuck with Cristian Romero and Micky van Ven as his defensive due and doesn’t appear keen to break that up.
A return to Italy appears to be the most likely option. Drăgușin previously played there with Juventus before impressing at Genoa. AC Milan are currently at the front of the queue, and a report last week stated Tottenham were potentially about to give in to let Drăgușin depart.
Reports have also linked AS Roma and Fiorentina with potential moves before Monday’s transfer deadline. In fact, reports in Italy have stated that Manea has been meeting with Milan’s sporting director Igli Tare.
Manea now denies this, even though he will admit he’s known those in charge at the San Siro for a while. He’s heading to Italy soon, albeit not on Tottenham transfer business. He’s open to talks if anyone wants them, though.
Tottenham player’s agent is off to Italy
“Nobody spoke to me. I’ve known Igli Tare for a long time, but I haven’t spoken to him,” he said.
“I’m going to Italy; I have some work there. If there’s interest in Radu and someone wants to contact me, they know where to find me. I’ll be in Italy tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but not for Radu.
“I also followed with bated breath what was happening with the transfer, they all knew better than me. I had seen something that Tottenham had lowered the price, but I didn’t know anything. All that came out was speculation.
“Of course, Radu also finds out about this information, but I told him that I’d let him know if anything comes up. It’s wonderful how much there is speculation. There’s nothing to destabilise him”
