Radu Dragusin
January 2026
Spurs turned down Roma’s loan approach for Dragusin despite the player being open to a Serie A return after a long ACL layoff. Dragusin has been in recent matchday squads but barely used; Roma pushed after agreeing terms with the player, yet Tottenham blocked the move and may keep him as depth this month.
Axel Disasi, Radu Dragusin
January 2026
Roma have identified Axel Disasi and Radu Dragusin as January defensive targets, aiming to strengthen at the back. Disasi has been frozen out at Chelsea since returning from his Aston Villa loan, and Chelsea are prepared to sell after signing him in 2023. Reports say Disasi cannot leave on loan because Chelsea have used their domestic loan slots, so any move must be permanent. Roma are exploring terms while other clubs are also monitoring. Tottenham’s Dragusin is also on Roma’s list as a separate option.
Radu Dragusin (Tottenham Hotspur)
October 2025
Tottenham rejected Romania’s attempt to call up defender Radu Dragusin for October fixtures against Moldova and Austria, citing his continued ACL rehabilitation. The 23-year-old has not played since January and is still under Spurs’ strict medical recovery programme.
Romania manager Mircea Lucescu admitted Spurs’ decision was justified despite Dragusin’s eagerness to return. With World Cup qualifying hopes at stake, Romania will proceed without him. Spurs stress patience is key for a full recovery, prioritising club-controlled training over international duty.
