The 21-year-old central defender is poised for a £25.8 million ($32.8m) transfer to Tottenham, having turned down Bayern Munich. Reports suggest he will ink a contract running until 2029. However, amid the anticipation, Dragusin’s agent, Florin Manea, has indicated that the player has ambitions beyond Tottenham, aiming to use the experience gained there as a stepping stone towards joining football powerhouses Real Madrid or Barcelona.
In an interview with the Romanian network Digi Sport, Manea expressed, “We are only at the beginning of the road, we want him to reach the best teams in the world. We were close, Bayern are among the biggest clubs, but his dream is Real or Barcelona. If he was 23 or 24 years old and had more experience, maybe he would have decided to go to Bayern, but we took many things into account; his age and the competition. In three or four years I see him at Real Madrid.”
As Dragusin enters the Tottenham fold, Djed Spence is set to move in the opposite direction, sweetening the deal for Genoa. The Romanian defender played a pivotal role in guiding Genoa to Serie A from Serie B, contributing both defensively and offensively with four goals during the campaign.
Dragusin’s arrival also signals Eric Dier’s move to Bayern Munich. The center-back is already in Munich and is on the brink of finalizing a permanent contract with the Bavarians, seeking to rejuvenate his career ahead of Euro 2024.
