Recently, reports from Italy positioned Tottenham Hotspur at the forefront of the race for Genoa’s Radu Drăgușin, leaving Napoli, AC Milan, and Bayern Munich trailing.

The English side has ramped up their efforts in pursuit of the defender, as per Gianluca Di Marzio, who revealed that Spurs have made an ‘official offer’ amounting to €25m plus €5m in bonuses to Genoa.

While Tottenham remains proactive, Bayern Munich poses a formidable challenge. Di Marzio indicates talks between the Bundesliga champions and the 21-year-old’s representatives but notes the absence of a formal proposal.

Sky Italia delves further into the heated battle between the North London club and Bayern for the central defender’s signature.

Presently, Ange Postecoglou’s side appears to lead the charge, having tabled an offer of €25m plus €5m bonuses and expressing readiness to seal the deal definitively.

Genoa seems inclined to accept Tottenham’s proposal, with the final decision expected to come forth on Tuesday regarding the Romania international.

The urgency possibly arises due to Bayern’s late entry into the fray. Sky suggests that if the Bavarian giants don’t act swiftly, Drăgușin could swiftly head to London.

However, Sportitalia’s Gianluigi Longari offers a contrasting viewpoint, suggesting that the defender was bound for Spurs had it not been for Bayern’s eleventh-hour involvement.

Longari implies an existing agreement between Genoa, Drăgușin, and Tottenham, nearly finalized, but Bayern’s recent intervention has redirected the player’s preference. The player’s camp has prioritized Bayern, allowing a brief window for the Bavarians to strike a deal with Genoa and finalize the transfer to Germany.
