Napoli was a step away from Radu Dragusin. In the last January market, the Genoa defender was the chosen one of the azure club, but then he chose the Premier League. «De Laurentiis was ready to close the deal, he was there with the offer, they were almost equal with the others, but it was not a question of money. If it had been so, he would have gone to Bayern who made the most important offer. Dragusin felt that this was the way to go and decided to go to Tottenham» explained the player's agent Florin Manea.
Not only the blues. «There was also Milan interested in addition to Napoli in Italy. He was attached to the Genoa fans, it was a bit difficult to accept Italy, but you couldn't say no to important teams like Milan and Napoli. Without offers from outside Italy, maybe we would have gone to an Italian team. If Napoli had taken Dragusin it would have been a great hit, it was also the only one affordable for the value shown in Serie A. One of his value at that price you did not find. Dragusin was impressed by players like Ronaldo and lives the same life. When I go to his house I'm starving. I see the work he does every day, one like this cannot fail to reach high levels».
«Why did Juventus let him go? I don't know. We didn't think he could grow so quickly. Dragusin is a very smart boy, at school and at university. He is one who criticizes himself very quickly. After every game he calls me and we talk about all the plays, he asks me to correct him because he knows I am sincere. No one thought he had this growth» the agent continued on Radio crc.
The Premier, however, is present and future. «In life you can never say never. I brought a striker to Genoa and I hope he follows the same path as Dragusin. This in two years if he does what I tell him arrives in Serie A. I think I have the eye. Maybe I'll bring him to Napoli, who knows if he'll do well. Then Mr. De Laurentiis left me a good impression, he was very kind. Maradona is my idol and Napoli is in my heart. I hope to make a deal with Napoli in the future. It was not a bad offer from Napoli, too bad it went like this, I am a bit of a fan of the blues».
