According to Sky Sport Italia, Tottenham Hotspur have not made a formal offer for Rade Dragusin, while Napoli continue negotiations with Genoa and Juventus are an interested party.

The centre-back has attracted a great deal of attention with his performances for Genoa this season and that has earned him a price-tag of circa €30m.

So far, nobody has yet reached that figure and the talks are expected to drag on throughout the January transfer window.

The latest report from Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio suggests the reason for that high figure is that Juventus retained a 20 per cent cut of the sell-on fee when sending him to Genoa for €5.5m plus €1.8m in add-ons.

Meanwhile, the same source claims Tottenham are ready to reach €25m including bonuses, but have not made a formal offer to Genoa yet.

Napoli did see their bid rejected, which was worth €20m plus Leo Ostigard and the loan of full-back Alessandro Zanoli, though the negotiations are continuing.

An option could be to reverse that, so Ostigard would go on loan and Zanoli sold to Genoa on a permanent transfer.
