Tottenham Hotspur have made a decision regarding Radu Dragusin after the centre-back asked to join AS Roma.
Spurs have already turned down an offer from Roma for Draugsin, but the Serie A club’s interest has not gone away.
It emerged a few days ago that the Tottenham centre-back had put his foot down to demand a move to the Italian club.
That update, which came from Corriere dello Sport, suggested that the Romanian had already agreed personal terms with Roma and that the Serie A club and Spurs were not far apart in their valuation.
Tottenham inform Roma of their Radu Dragusin decision
A new report in Calciomercato.it has now revealed that the Lilywhites have now made a final decision about the 23-year-old’s future.
The Premier League side have not given their approval for Dragusin to complete a move to the Italian capital.
It is revealed that Spurs have ‘closed the door’ on the centre-back’s switch to the Stadio Olimpico during the current transfer window.
The report claims that Tottenham’s ‘decision is irrevocable’, and the Giallorossi have thus been forced to look at other centre-back options.
Recent injury development may have affected Spurs’ decision
With Kota Takai having been loaned out to Borussia Monchengladbach, it was always unlikely that Tottenham would allow Dragusin to leave without signing another centre-back.
To make matters worse, Ben Davies appears to have suffered a serious injury and could be set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
It seems like the Lilywhites did not find any suitable centre-back option in January, which is why they decided not to risk leaving themselves short by offloading the Romanian.
