What happened
Radu Dragusin, the Romanian centre-back signed by Tottenham from Genoa in January 2024, has arrived for his medical at Fiorentina. The move is expected to be a loan deal, giving the 23-year-old an opportunity to revive his career after limited playing time under Ange Postecoglou. Fiorentina have been active in the January window, looking to strengthen defensively. The transfer would free up a non-EU/foreign squad spot for Spurs if it's a simple loan.
Chance analysis
Dragusin's departure signals Tottenham's willingness to let a recent defensive signing leave on loan, indicating either a lack of faith in his development or a need to free squad space. For Fiorentina, adding a physical, Premier League-tested centre-back addresses a clear defensive need. This is a low-risk move for both clubs — Fiorentina get quality reinforcement, Spurs retain the asset long-term.
Dragusin likely leaves Spurs on loan, reducing their centre-back depth; Fiorentina gain a Premier League-caliber defender to bolster their backline.
Fiorentina's defensive solidity may improve in the short term; Tottenham lose squad depth in central defense for the rest of the season.
