Premier League team Tottenham Hotspurs and Serie A club Napoli are reportedly in a head-to-head battle for Genoa’s solid defender Dragusin, according to Sky Sport.
The Romanian centre back, who has been in phenomenal form this season, is attracting significant interest from the aforementioned clubs. Napoli have seemingly upped the ante, tabling a proposal said to be worth around €20 million (£17 million), which also includes their own footballer, Leo Ostigard.
The ball is now in Genoa’s court, with club executives tasked to assess, negotiate and potentially accept an offer that matches their valuation of the defender. While Napoli have placed their offer, there is a room for a counter-move, possibly from Tottenham. This leaves speculation rife as they, alongside other interested parties, watch the unfolding drama from the sidelines.
Future developments hinge heavily upon Genoa’s next move, potentially setting a noteworthy precedent in the trading strategies of football’s increasingly competitive market.
