Tottenham defender offered to Juventus as De Zerbi halts duo’s departure

Tottenham coach Roberto De Zerbi is reportedly unwilling to sell Juventus targets Djed Spence and Destiny Udogie this summer, but another Spurs defender, Radu Dragusin, has been offered to the Old Lady.

Juventus are expected to reshape their defence this summer as the Bianconeri will be forced to listen to offers for some of their stars, including Gleison Bremer and Andrea Cambiaso, for financial reasons.

With the latter attracting interest from Chelsea and Barcelona in recent days, Italian media outlets, including Gazzetta dello Sport, have reported that the Bianconeri set their sights on Tottenham’s Spence and Udogie as potential replacements.

According to TEAMTalk, however, De Zerbi is unwilling to let either full-back leave, so Juventus will have to look elsewhere if Cambiaso leaves.

Tuttosport has linked a third Tottenham defender with a move to Juventus. It’s not a full-back, like Spence or Udogie, but a centre-back: Dragusin.

Dragusin’s agents reportedly offered the Tottenham defender to Juventus director Marco Ottolini, who first brought Dragusin to Genoa from Juventus in 2022 and then sold him to Spurs two years later.

According to the report, Tottenham are ready to sell Dragusin for a fee between €20m and €25m, as Spurs are ready to welcome Marcos Senesi as a free agent and are in talks with Brighton for Jan Paul van Hecke after reaching an agreement with the 26-year-old.
