Tottenham reject Fiorentina’s advances for Radu Dragusin

The pursuit of Tottenham’s Radu Dragusin on the agenda for Fiorentina, but the path to the Romanian defender has been anything but smooth.

According to a report by FirenzeViola, the Viola made a concrete attempt to sign the center-back a month ago, only to see their advances firmly rejected by Tottenham Hotspur.

At the time of the initial approach, Spurs were unwilling to sanction a departure for the former Genoa man, despite him nursing an injury at that point.

However, the landscape at the Stadio Artemio Franchi is shifting rapidly with the imminent arrival of Fabio Paratici. The former Spurs managing director is nearing a move to Fiorentina, and his presence is expected to be a total game-changer for this specific negotiation.

Paratici was the architect behind Dragusin’s move to Tottenham and maintains an excellent relationship with both the player’s camp and the leadership at the Premier League club. With Paratici now pulling the strings in Florence, Fiorentina is hopeful that the “wall” built by Tottenham a month ago can finally be breached.

The need for defensive reinforcements remains a priority for the Viola, and Dragusin’s familiarity with Serie A makes him the ideal candidate to lead the backline. With a month of frustration now behind them, the “Paratici factor” could be exactly what is needed to bring the defender back to Italy.
