Radu Dragusin has had a mixed spell at Tottenham, since joining from Genoa in 2024. Now, attempts to help him seal an exit are gathering pace.
In January, Sport Witness closely covered Italian interest in the defender. AS Roma were particularly pushing for his signature, as AC Milan also attempted a move.
Neither were succesful, as Tottenham didn’t budge from their position over a permanent deal. No interested Serie A sides could afford the €25m requested, only wanting initial loans.
Since January, things haven’t really changed for Dragusin. He has started six Premier League games, having been left on the bench for the last three outings.
Now, those around the Romanian are pushing for an exit.
Dragusin keen on transfer
SpotMedia in Romania report that the centre-back has lost his patience with the London club. He is very frustrated with the playing time on offer, last starting a league game on the 15th of March.
As a result, the 24-year-old has informed his agent Florin Manea about a desire to find a new club.
Talks are on with clubs in Italy and Germany already, with the specific names of the teams currently unknown. But it is very clear he will leave Tottenham, with the player ‘unhappy with his status’.
Spurs too, at their end, are ready to part ways in the summer. They feel his return since joining has been rather poor and this is making them evaluate a sale.
Dragusin better than back-up role
Since he joined Tottenham, Dragusin has been a squad player. This is mainly because of the presence of Micky Van de Ven and Cristian Romero.
The way he performed at Genoa, it is fair to say that he is better than being a back-up. While he isn’t excellent on the ball, Dragusin’s strengths always lay in his recovery and heading ability.
Only glimpses of that have been seen at Tottenham. He is still only 24 and working towards his peak. This makes 2026 the best time for Dragusin to seek a permanent transfer.
