When the pressure mounts and speculation swirls, Tottenham Hotspur defender Radu Dragusin is keeping his eyes fixed firmly on the prize: Premier League survival.
The 24-year-old Romanian international has endured a disrupted debut season in North London. After arriving with high hopes, a serious ACL injury sidelined him for much of the campaign, limiting him to just ten appearances. For any player adjusting to the intensity of English football, that kind of setback is a major blow.
Rumors of a swift return to Serie A—where Dragusin built his reputation with Juventus and Genoa—have been growing louder. Italian clubs, familiar with his talents, are naturally circling. But his agent, Florin Manea, has delivered a firm and clear message: not now.
"I said we won't talk until the end of the championship; he's focused on saving Tottenham," Manea told Romanian outlet Digi Sport. "I also talked to him last night. We have time, no one is rushing us for now."
Manea confirmed plans to travel to London for a face-to-face meeting with his client once the season concludes. But for now, the agenda is simple. "His priority now is saving Tottenham," Manea added. "If someone calls me, you'll realise I'm talking, but I haven't been contacted."
In a season where Spurs have been tested on every front, Dragusin's resolve is a reminder that sometimes, the biggest battles are fought off the pitch. For fans and players alike, survival comes first—everything else can wait.
