SUMMARY

- During his negotiations, Dragusin had an offer from FC Bayern Munich.
Radu Dragusin is a Romanian soccer player, who plays as a defender who currently plays for the Seria A side, Genoa. He is also currently on the verge of joining the Premier League side, Tottenham Hotspur. Across his negotiations to start a new chapter, Dragusin also had another offer lined up.
That offer was from the German giants, FC Bayern Munich. Holding an offer from the Bavarians is already a massive privilege that very few achieve. After hearing the news that, Dragusin has rejected Bayern Munich’s offer, many were left bewildered how could he do so.
When his agent was asked about this matter his agent replied, “We can’t believe we turned down Bayern.” With such a reply many got to know that the player himself could not believe what he had just done. As rejecting 6-time, UEFA Champions League holders is not an easy task to do.

When asked even after this disbelief why did they reject Bayern, the agent further said, “Radu had given his word to Spurs and chose to respect this. We’re all still mind-blown a bit!” After looking at these statements, it is clear why Radu rejected Bayern in the first place.
Showcasing his respect, Radu didn’t want to disrespect the club who first thought to sign him. With his kind act, it was noticed that such negotiations are not only dependent on crests, players tend to look after the clubs who show interest in them first as well.
Radu Dragusin’s contract at Tottenham Hotspur
Radu Dragusin is on the verge of joining Tottenham Hotspur, after holding a revolting battle up against Bayern Munich. Tottenham reportedly spent around £21.5 million with potential add-ons to bring Dragusin from Genoa.
He’s a composed center-back, comfortable on the ball, and eager to learn. Postecoglu’s tactical masterclass will be like boot camp for the young Romanian, pushing him to new heights and refining his defensive instincts.
Further on this deal, it has been informed that Djed Spence will be going the opposite way to Genoa on a loan deal. Making a move to a new league will only help Spence gather new experiences and mature his growth across professional soccer.

With the transfer on the verge of completion, it has been informed that Radu Dragusin will earn $63,000 per week. He has signed a deal which will last up to 2029 or 2030. He’s penned a contract that stretches until 2029 or 2030, depending on sources. That’s a serious commitment, suggesting the club sees him as a long-term investment.
Holding a massive competition up against Romero and Van der Ven, Radu will surely be having a battle to gather first-team opportunities. Spurs looking to grab a Top 4 finish and battle for the FA Cup. During the process of finally ending their trophy drought, Radu will surely be a signing to watch out for.
