Radu Dragusin of Genoa is one of the most in-form defenders in Serie A: Inter, Napoli and foreign top-clubs are following him, and for Juve he is a regret.
Florin Manea, Radu Dragusin’s attorney, spoke live to TvPlay’s microphones to talk about his client’s future. Manea confirmed that Dragusin is aiming for a top-club even though he is currently happy at Genoa. “Radu Dragusin will come to a top club, because I have seen how he works,” the prosecutor explained.
“Juventus was fundamental for him: he was able to work with people of the level of Bonucci and Chiellini, and he learned a lot from them. Alberto Gilardino and a little bit also Blessin gave him a lot of confidence. In Sampdoria he was still making some mistakes, and he worked a lot to be able to improve. He is a very intelligent boy, studying at the university. Chiellini sent him messages to correct him and always gave him quite a lot of advice.”
According to the agent, the Romanian defender’s growth is also due to Gilardino. “He grew so much with him, in fact he got his first yellow card after eighteen games for a foul against an opposing goalkeeper. Playing in Serie A against champions like Lukaku, Immobile, Chiesa and Vlahovic and not being cautioned is a lot of stuff. “
“Since I’ve been doing this job, I’ve never met a guy like him. He doesn’t care about money, he wants to have a great career. Napoli has not contacted me. He is not convinced to leave Genoa in the middle of the season. In my opinion he is perfect to play in England, and his dream is to get to the Premier. “
Dragusin’s future in a top-club: “Inquiry from Tottenham “
“Radu does not feel pressure, before the Inter game he told me that pressure makes him feel better.” After that, the agent denied that there was an offer from Tottenham, although he did not rule out a possible farewell from Genoa with a Premier destination. “If they then come to an agreement with Genoa, I am ready to listen to them. In the only meeting I had with Tottenham, they only asked me about the boy’s character, because under the technical aspect they already knew everything. “
There was nothing instead with Roma. “I have so much respect for Roma,” Manea continued, “I could never speak ill of them. Also because it is precisely with the Giallorossi that I am dealing with a young striker. If they call you big teams you cannot say no, but I have so much respect for Genoa. His tag is worth 25-30 million euros. Genoa will ask for this amount, it could become a big deal for them to sell him for 25.”
“I think the Premier is perfect for him,” the interviewee concluded. “When he was 16 years old Juve and Chelsea wanted him: we chose the Bianconeri because there he would learn to be a defender. It is in Italy that one becomes a top central defender. “
