Dragusin’s agent reveals real Tottenham asking price, drops Roma hint

Radu Dragusin’s agent, Florin Manea, confirms that Roma are his client’s favourite destination, but he’s still ‘waiting’ for Tottenham’s green light.

Roma have emerged as Dragusin’s favourite destination in the January transfer window.

“I’m waiting for Tottenham to say yes to Roma so things can really get going,” the defender’s agent told Rai Sport via Calciomercato.com.

“There are a couple of offers for him, but Italy is a special place for Radu, and he’s done well in Serie A. He’s a gladiator and gladiators belong to Rome.”

Fiorentina have also been linked with the Romania international.

Italian sources have reported that Tottenham’s asking price for Dragusin is €15m, but the defender’s agent revealed that Spurs’ demands are higher, while a move to Fiorentina is not in his plans.

“With all due respect, that wouldn’t be the right path for him. He costs €25m,” Manea concluded.

Dragusin has recently returned to action following a serious knee injury.

The 23-year-old, a former Juventus and Genoa centre-back, has already made 40 Serie A appearances, scoring two goals and providing one assist.

During his time at Tottenham, he has collected 26 Premier League appearances, adding seven in the Europa League and one in the FA Cup.

Roma are pushing to get reinforcements in attack as well during the January transfer window and are close to signing Atletico Madrid forward Giacomo Raspadori.
