Napoli are pushing hard for the signature of 21-year-old Genoa defender Radu Dragusin amid interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
According to a report by Fichajes, Napoli are keen on having Radu Dragusin in their ranks. The Serie A champions want to reinforce their squad in the ongoing transfer window as they prepare for the challenges that they will face in the second half of the season. The Genoa defender, valued at €30 million, is also a target for Tottenham.
Napoli Stuttering This Seasons
The Italian club had an exceptional season last time out as they won the league after 30 long years and even had a great run in the UEFA Champions League. But they have failed to deliver similar performances this season.
Napoli are eighth in the Serie A standings and are already 17 points behind league leaders Inter Milan. Winning the Scudetto might no longer be a possibility, but they would like to finish inside the top four and also need to prepare for a tough round of 16 fixture against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League.
In order to ensure they have enough in their tank to go past the Catalan giants and finish inside the top four in the league, Napoli are looking to reinforce their squad. They want to incorporate a new centre-back into the mix and have their eyes set on Genoa’s 21-year-old defensive sensation Radu Dragusin.
Radu Dragusin on the Rise
Things might not have worked out for the Romanian international at Juventus. But he has managed to make a name for himself since joining Genoa in the summer of 2022. It was an initial loan move, which was made permanent last summer.
His impressive performances have resulted in a lot of interest, and Tottenham Hotspur are one of the clubs keen on acquiring his services. Spurs had an exceptional start to the new season, but injuries have derailed them. As a result, the London club are looking to reinforce their squad, and they have been working quite hard to acquire the services of Radu Dragusin.
Tottenham are quite keen on having the €30 million-rated defender in their ranks. But Napoli are looking to win the race by putting forward an exceptional offer. The Serie A champions are ready to offer two players plus cash for the services of the 21-year-old centre-back.
They are ready to let Alessandro Zanoli and Leo Ostigard join Genoa as they look to bolster their defence and prepare for the second half of the season. So, Genoa might have the motivation to sell Dragusin to their fellow Serie A club instead of Tottenham.
