It seems AC Milan have set their sights on a new central defender, and this time, it is Radu Dragusin. Relighting an old interest is certainly nothing new for the Rossoneri.
There is no denying the fact that Milan are seemingly desperate for another defender this month. However, bringing one to the club is proving to be a difficult task. After all, Dragusin is not the first name of interest.
From Joe Gomez to Kim Min-Jae, there has been no shortage of names put forward for the Diavolo. Yet, with each case, the same issues seem to apply. Either clubs are not willing to part in January, or are asking too much to do so this month.
So, it is a case of trial and error, seeking the one option that opens up a move.
Dragusin move on the cards
Now, that could be Dragusin, who Milan initially considered before he moved to Tottenham Hotspur. The Romanian has never really hit the heights hoped for, and he could leave North London this month.
Tuttomercatoweb reports that there are currently issues with the formula sought by both clubs, and their words are relayed by MilanNews.
“Massimiliano Allegri wants a central defender and Igli Tare is working to give AC Milan further reinforcement. In the last few hours, there have been contacts with Tottenham regarding Radu Dragusin, a Romanian defender who is well known in the Italian league.
“The Rossoneri intend to propose a loan with an option to buy, a formula that would allow them to have a free hand in six months, when decisions will be made and the Champions League qualification will be made official.
“Spurs, on the other hand, intend to reach a buyout obligation. Perhaps tied to certain conditions, but not too difficult. Therefore—at least for now—fourth place is out of the question, plus a generic qualification for Europe, which, in effect, is already secured, or almost, given their twelve-point lead over seventh-placed Atalanta.”
