Transfer news: Roma eye Tottenham’s Dier after failed Bonucci deal

Roma is said to be considering a move for Tottenham’s Eric Dier to bolster their defence as a potential replacement for Leonardo Bonucci who was expected from Union Berlin but did not arrive.

The English centre-back is coming to the end of his contract, opening up the possibility of him joining the Italian club sans any financial compensation in the January transfer window.

However, Dier’s move to Roma is dependent on Tottenham finding his substitute. Speculations suggest Genoa’s Radu Dragusin is leading the race as the likely successor, with the unexpected twist being Bonucci potentially ending up with the Rossoblu team, bringing about a dramatic spin to the transfer saga.
