The British media have turned on Radu Drăgușin, demanding that Tottenham urgently sell the Romanian international. Drăgușin has had a disastrous season with the English club. He missed the early months of the 2025/2026 season due to a severe injury. Upon his return towards the end of the year, he managed only 10 appearances, mostly as a substitute.

Tottenham is fighting to avoid relegation, and Drăgușin has faced harsh criticism from the British press. He is seen as unsuitable for the Premier League and has slim chances of regaining his place in the team for the new season. There is increasing talk of Drăgușin's departure from Spurs, with his future uncertain as Roberto de Zerbi did not include him in the final matches of the campaign.

De Zerbi, while reportedly valuing Drăgușin more than his predecessors, has not shown any signs that Drăgușin could replace Romero and Van de Ven in the center of defense. British sources have noted Italian clubs, including Inter Milan and AS Roma, showing interest in the Romanian player.

“In reality, the Romanian central defender never seemed good enough for the Premier League, even before an ACL injury kept him out for much of the past year—he is a player who does not excel in any aspect for the highest level of play.”

Interest from Serie A has been suggested, with Inter Milan and AS Roma among the Italian teams linked to a potential offer. If this interest materializes into a firm proposal, it is unlikely that Spurs would refuse it. Reports indicated that an agreement for a loan with an option to buy was made with Roma in January before the transfer fell through.

Drăgușin, who previously played for Juventus and Genoa, seems poised to return to Serie A. Cristi Chivu has the mission to revive the Nerazzurri, and Drăgușin could be part of a grand project under the Romanian tactician.

With Alessandro Bastoni reportedly moving to Barcelona, a €25 million deal from Tottenham could be in the offing.
