Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Tottenham Hotspur and Genoa are expected to continue their negotiations over Radu Dragusin through the weekend as the two clubs aim to sort out their differences.
It was widely reported until a few days ago that Spurs are keen to get the Dragusin deal completed by the end of last week (Daily Mail) but the North London club have not quite managed to do that.
The Premier League side are still thought to be confident of winning the race for the Romanian, with Sky Sports’ Lyall Thomas reporting on Friday that the Lilywhites have no concern about Napoli entering the race for the centre-back.
New contact made between Spurs and Genoa
Romano has now taken to social media to reveal that there have been fresh talks between the English and the Italian sides over Dragusin, with negotiations expected to continue through the weekend.
He reiterated that the 21-year-old has already agreed personal terms with Spurs and that Genoa are continue to demand a fee of €30m (£26m), with Tottenham expected to launch an official offer soon.

Now that Ben Davies has also picked up an injury, it has become even more crucial that Tottenham finalise the Dragusin deal as soon as possible as the Romanian would likely have to start at Old Trafford next Sunday.
