Roma send offer for Tottenham defender Dragusin, but RB Leipzig loom

Reports in Italy claim that RB Leipzig have joined Roma in the race to sign Radu Dragusin, with the Bundesliga side open to signing the ex-Genoa star on a permanent deal.

Sky Sport Italia and Gazzetta dello Sport report that German club RB Leipzig have emerged as serious contenders for Tottenham defender Dragusin.

The Romania international is one of Roma’s priority targets to strengthen their defence in the January window.

Roma have already made an offer to sign Dragusin on loan with an obligation to buy tied to their Champions League qualification this season.

Leipzig, on the other hand, are open to negotiating a permanent move for the 23-year-old.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Dragusin would prioritise a permanent transfer, but the defender’s agent suggested last week that his client would be open to joining the Giallorossi.

Dragusin has recently returned to action after a knee injury and has only made one five-minute appearance with Spurs in 2025-26.
