La Liga champions Barcelona have reportedly set their sights on Radu Dragusin, whose release clause is worth €30 million.
According to a report by Spanish outlet SPORT, Radu Dragusin is the subject of interest from Barcelona. The reigning La Liga champions want to sign the “next Araujo” in the 2024 summer transfer window. Meanwhile, the Romanian defender, who has a release clause worth €30 million, is also a target for several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur.
Radu Dragusin: His Rise at Genoa
Radu Dragusin has risen in prominence during his stint with Genoa. The 21-year-old spent most of his formative years in his homeland before joining Juventus in August 2018. He rose through the ranks at the Serie A club but could not break into the first-team squad at the Allianz Stadium.
Loan spells at Sampdoria, Salernitana, and Genoa got him the game time he desired before Il Grifone completed a permanent transfer this past summer. The Romanian defender has turned out 19 times thus far this term, chipping in with a goal and an assist. Meanwhile, Dragusin’s progress at the Serie A club has not gone unnoticed.
The former Juventus centre-back has a release clause worth €30 million in his contract, making him an even more appealing target. Several well-known Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, have shown interest in him. In addition, Dragusin has emerged as a target for Barcelona.
Barcelona Keen on Radu Dragusin: The Next Araujo?
Barcelona might not seem to have the need to sign a centre-back next year. Xavi Hernandez has three top-class central defenders — Ronald Araujo, Jules Kounde, and Andreas Christensen — in his squad. But the reigning La Liga champions are scouring the market for the “next Araujo”. Radu Dragusin has thus emerged as a viable target for Barcelona.
As for Tottenham, the North London giants want more competition for Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven. They suffered in the absence of the duo last month, exposing the need for another centre-back. Dragusin is thus an option worth considering for Tottenham. They, unlike Barcelona, are financially adept enough to afford to pay €30 million to sign him.
Meanwhile, recent reports have claimed that Dragusin wants to play for a Premier League club. So, Barcelona might have a tall order prising the Genoa defender away from the Serie A outfit next year.
