There are three Italian clubs in the running for Radu Dragusin, the Romanian defender, now at Tottenham, returned to the field Sunday after 11 months spent struggling with a knee problem. Still emotional about the match Spurs won at home to Crystal Palace but especially about his return to the pitch, Dragusin told of all his joy in the post-match: “I missed these emotions, I missed the atmosphere, I missed the fans and my teammates. In a nutshell, I missed soccer. That is why I am so happy, also because I could not imagine a better comeback than this one, made more cheerful by the victory”.

The class of 2002 Bucharest native then looked back at the difficult period he experienced away from the field and his future goals. He did so without blurting out about the possibility of a change of shirt during the repair market “In these eleven months I have learned to be patient and to believe in myself – he pointed out, speaking to the London club’s media -. What do I hope for 2026? To return stably to the field and to experience a better championship, for me and for the club, than the one that is coming to an end”.

Dragusin, who made his debut in the top flight with Juventus, could return to the A league as early as January. Three, at least, are the hypotheses related to his future. While the possibility of seeing him at Inter Milan, where he would make himself available to compatriot Cristian Chivu, seems to have waned, another big name in our league, Roma, is continuing to evaluate the hypothesis of signing him, taking over his card from Tottenham with a substantial investment.

Different, on the other hand, is the situation linked to both Fiorentina and Genoa, where the athlete would represent a return horse: both the purple and the red and blue clubs, grappling with the need to immediately shore up their rearguard, would very willingly take him on loan, even on a dry loan basis.

For Dragusin, who was also seen in Genoa for a few months with Sampdoria, there have already been 57 appearances between the cadetteria and the top division, with a total of 6 goals to his credit, on the Grifoni’s jersey. In Italy, for him, also an experience at Salernitana.
