The passionate N17 faithful watch another familiar face depart North London as the ambitious boardroom continues ruthlessly shaping the senior squad for a domestic campaign.
The brutal summer squad clearance continues rapidly at Hotspur Way today. The official Tottenham Hotspur club media channel confirmed that Radu Dragusin has officially joined famous Serie A outfit Fiorentina on an initial loan agreement, and the Romanian international will spend the entire upcoming domestic season playing his football in Italy.
This specific transfer package heavily protects the financial interests of the North Londoners. The official agreement cleverly includes a strict obligation for the Italian side to make the move completely permanent later. This vital permanent clause activates automatically if the towering defender successfully meets specific performance based criteria over the coming months.
The talented centre back originally arrived in the English capital from Genoa back in January 2024, making 48 appearances. His promising tenure sadly derailed following a devastating knee injury against Elfsborg in the UEFA Europa League.

That unfortunate physical setback entirely ruined his momentum during the winter period of 2025. The medical staff worked incredibly hard to rehabilitate the muscular Romanian powerhouse over many gruelling months. He eventually returned to competitive action during a narrow victory at Crystal Palace in December 2025.
Despite successfully returning to full fitness, the commanding defender struggled immensely to secure regular starting minutes. He only managed to feature 10 times in total under the previous tactical regime during the entirety of last season. Roberto De Zerbi clearly deems the physical centre half completely surplus to his current tactical requirements.
The talented young Bucharest native remains a highly respected regular for his beloved national team setup. The physical defender already boasts thirty senior caps representing his proud country on the massive international stage. The entire Tottenham Hotspur fan base respectfully wishes the departing defender ultimate success as he seeks regular football abroad this coming campaign.
