‘Romanian legend’ Florin Raduțioiu has expressed his concern over Radu Dragucin’s situation.
Dragucin was a hot commodity in the transfer market last winter. Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur, both looking to bolster their center back ranks, were both after him, with Napoli also joining the race to sign him. Clubs from every continent were interested in Dragusin. He chose Tottenham.
In an objective head-to-head comparison, Spurs were ahead of Munich. Even the weekly wages offered were higher in Munich than in Tottenham, so it came as a surprise to his entourage when he rejected Munich in favor of Tottenham. His agent was surprised. According to European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, he was baffled, saying, “I didn’t think he would turn down Munich’s offer at all.”
Of course, there was a reason. Dragusin appreciated Tottenham’s project. Alasdair Gold, who covers Tottenham for Football London, said: “Dragusin valued Tottenham’s project more highly than Munich’s. Munich had offered twice the weekly wage that Spurs were offering.”
That’s how Dragucin joined Tottenham. He has struggled to find his feet. After making his debut as a substitute against Manchester United, he played in the subsequent games against Brentford and Everton. However, he only got a minute or two of playing time. From Brighton to Crystal Palace, he was on the bench for three consecutive games.
This situation worried the “Romanian legend”. According to British outlet Football London, he said: “Dragucin’s case is completely different. He knows where he is 스포츠토토 headed. The two players at Tottenham at the moment are fantastic.” The two players he was referring to were Mickey van der Vaart and Cristian Romero, who form Spurs’ center-back duo.
Raduccioiu believes their presence is keeping Dragusin from playing. “Romero has scored goals. He’s a really good player. He’s fast, strong, and his passes are accurate. It’s not an easy situation for Dragusin. You can’t predict what will happen. But I’m not sure if he will be able to play.”
