Bayern Munich have emerged as rivals to sign Genoa defender Radu Dragusin in the January transfer window. The 21-year-old has been in excellent form in Serie A this season, attracting interest from several top clubs. Tottenham were initially considered Dragusin's favourite team to join, but the London club has struggled to meet Genoa's financial demands.
Napoli are also interested in the Romanian international and intend to thwart Tottenham's pursuit. However, Bayern's search for a new centre-back has piqued their interest in Dragusin. The German champion is reportedly ready to offer €25 million plus prize money, but Genoa has set the ** tag of €35 million.
Despite Bayern's intentions, Tottenham and Napoli remain the most realistic options for Dragusin, who has three and a half years left on his contract with Genoa. Tottenham were desperately needed at centre-back and were forced to play at centre-back due to injuries to Micky van der win and Christian Romero. Tottenham's Erik Deere is about to expire and he is said to have agreed to the terms of a move to Bayern, which could affect their pursuit of Dragusin. The defender is reportedly keen to complete a deal to north London this week.
