Romano claims the Premier League side had new positive talks with Genoa today so the deal is advancing to the final stages.
Dragusin played 90 minutes in Genoa’s 1-1 draw against Bologna on Friday night.
The 21-year-old has scored twice in 22 appearances across all competitions this season.
Napoli are also interested in Dragusin but seem unwilling to match Genoa’s asking price. According to Sky Sport Italia, the defending Serie A champions have offered €20m plus former Rossoblu defender Leo Ostigard.
Genoa coach Gilardino has refused to rule out Dragusin’s January exit saying that ‘anything can happen’ in the market.
🚨⚪️ Understand Tottenham had new positive contacts with Genoa for Radu Dragusin deal!
