Bayern Munich Joins Race for Radu Dragusin, Dealing Blow to Tottenham’s Hopes
Tottenham’s hopes of signing Genoa ace Radu Dragusin have suffered a setback as Bayern Munich has entered the race for his signature. The Romanian defender was expected to move to north London for a reported fee of £30m. However, Bayern Munich has now turned its attention to Dragusin, according to reports in Romania and Germany.
Tottenham’s Center-Back Problems
Tottenham has been facing issues with their center-back position, with Sergio Romero and Micky van de Ven currently sidelined due to hamstring injuries. The club had identified Dragusin as a potential solution to their injury problems, but Bayern Munich has now become a competitor for his signing.
Bayern Munich’s Defensive Reinforcement
Bayern Munich’s interest in Dragusin comes as they aim to strengthen their defense following injury problems with Matthijs de Ligt over the past 18 months. The German club is reportedly eager for a quick resolution and is willing to pay the £30m fee demanded by Genoa to secure Dragusin’s services within the next week.
Impact on Tottenham and Possible Alternatives
If Bayern Munich succeeds in signing Dragusin, it will be a significant blow to Tottenham and their plans for strengthening their defense. However, Tottenham could potentially reignite their interest in Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice. It is worth noting that Nice is reluctant to part ways with Todibo and wants to keep him for the remainder of the season.
