“Unfortunately,” the agent of a player who signed with Tottenham this season laments not being able to sell the player to a major league team

“Unfortunately,” the agent of a player who signed with Tottenham this season laments not being able to sell the player to a major league team.

 

 

Radu Dragusin, a defender for Tottenham Hotspur, moved to N17 in January and has had a respectable first season with the team.

 

The 22-year-old defender is getting multiple Premier League cameos off the bench at Tottenham thanks to Ange Postecoglou’s gradual introduction to the field.

 

Spurs notably defeated Bayern Munich to sign Dragusin, but they weren’t the only defending champions vying for his services.

 

The Romanian international was also being pursued by Napoli, and Dragusin’s agent has now disclosed that his personal preference was for the player to sign with them.

 

Tuttojuve reported remarks from a recent interview with Florin Manea conducted by Radio CRC. “It’s unfortunate,” the agent remarked, that Dragusin didn’t decide to relocate to the south of Italy.

Manea also called Aurelio de Laurentiis, the owner of Napoli, a “very kind” person and expressed the hope of working with him once more in the future.

 

Manea stated, “De Laurentiis was prepared to seal the deal; he was there with the offer; they were nearly equal with the others, but it wasn’t a money issue.”

 

 

Had that been the case, he would have accepted Bayern’s higher offer. With this feeling in mind, Dragusin made the decision to visit Tottenham.

 

I had a positive impression of Mr. De Laurentiis since he was so courteous. My idol is Maradona, and my heart belongs to Napoli.

 

“In the future, I hope to work with Napoli on a transaction. I’m a little bit of a Napoli fan, so it’s unfortunate that things didn’t work out this way, but it wasn’t a horrible offer from them.

 

Radu Dragusin preferred Tottenham above Napoli and Bayern Munich.

Manea’s public remarks about his personal preference and his regret in not joining Napoli will likely not go over well with Tottenham supporters, but they do demonstrate Dragusin’s tenacity in wanting to play for Spurs.

 

The 22-year-old rejected offers to two current league champions—both of whom are in the round of 16 of the Champions League—because he had such a strong belief in Tottenham.

 

That speaks much about the Spurs’ appeal and the direction Ange Postecoglou is leading them in.
