According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the “Old Lady’s” interest in Radu Drăgușin is real, as the group from Turin is looking for a central defender, after the Brazilian Bremer will be unavailable for several months.
Mircea Lucescu wants Juventus to take Drăgușin
The national coach gave an interview in Italy in which he said that, from his point of view, Juventus should do everything possible to “steal” the Romanian international from the London outfit. “Radu Drăgușin is always a starter for us (no- Romania national team). He is on the rise and will become a great defender. He is now focused on getting into the first team at Tottenham. If he continues to play a bit in England and if I was at Juventus, I would really consider bringing him back.

He is young, knows Serie A and Juventus club. As a selector, I am interested in Drăgușin playing and being happy, the decisions of other coaches are not my problem”said Mircea Lucescu. His statements were charged by the British journalists, they wrote that Tottenham has already made the decision regarding the future of Dragusin and there is no chance that he will leave in the winter mercato period.
“The coach of the national team that plays for a Tottenham player has bizarrely suggested that Juventus should transfer the footballer from the north London club. Romania’s coach, Mircea Lucescu, spoke about Radu Drăgușin and his situation at Spurs.
Lucescu’s unprofessional comment
He is convinced that the 22-year-old player will become a great defender. He then stated that the Bianconeri should transfer Drăgușin if he continues to have few minutes at the Spurs. It is unprofessional of Lucescu to make this comment about Drăgușin’s future and to suggest a new potential destination for him.
Tottenham will certainly not appreciate that and there is no chance of negotiating with any team in January, given that the former Genoa player is a key player for Ange Postecoglou.” those from Spurs Web noted.
Radu Drăgușin is announced as the starter today at Tottenham, in the dispute with Aston Villa, from the 10th stage of the Premier League.
