Tottenham player ‘misses Italy’ as agent speaks out on transfer rumours

Radu Dragusin’s agent, Florian Manea, has been speaking to the press once again about his client’s future and has reacted to the speculation linking the Tottenham man with a move to Napoli.

Dragusin’s agent is no stranger to speaking to the Italian press about his client’s future, much to the frustration of Spurs fans on occasions.

Florian Manea has even come under criticism for his comments, with some pundits even accusing him of trying to drum up interest in the centre-back.

Dragusin has been ruled out until next season with an injury but that has not stopped his agent from once again addressing the rumours about his client’s future.

Florian Manea makes Napoli admission about Radu Dragusin

Reports from Italy have continued to suggest over recent months that a number of top Serie A sides are eyeing a move for Dragusin.

Manea has now specifically addressed the speculation linking the 22-year-old with a move to Napoli, explaining that while the defender would love to play for former Spurs boss, Antonio Conte, he remains happy in the Premier League.

The Tottenham defender’s representative told Per Sempre Calcio: “He misses Italy, who knows, he might even come back in the future. But at the moment the strongest league is the English one, so it’s hard to say that it’s not a pleasure to play there.

“Yes, Napoli were interested. I also spoke to De Laurentiis, who was very kind. But it was too late: Tottenham had already started negotiations a month earlier and then Bayern Munich also got involved. In the end, the boy chose Spurs.

“All the players in the world would like to be trained by Conte to improve, he is a stratospheric level coach. But for now, I can’t say anything, because Dragusin has a long contract with Tottenham.”

Florina Manea provides positive update on Radu Dragusin’s recovery

Dragusin sustained an ACL injury against Elfsborg back in January and is currently on the road to recovery after going under the knife.

While the defender is not expected to kick a ball again this season, Manea has now explained that he has initially responded well to the surgical procedure.

He added: “Radu faced the operation with great determination and is recovering quickly. After only two days of surgery, he was already able to put pressure on his knee. The muscles and other ligaments were fine, so it was just an unfortunate episode.

“At only 23 years old, the operation was inevitable to ensure a full recovery. If he had been 35, perhaps he could have avoided the operation and continued playing.”
