Multiple reports claim Tottenham Hotspur have made a formal bid for Genoa defender Radu Dragusin, which includes Djed Spence’s loan at the Stadio Ferraris until the end of the season.

Tottenham are in advanced talks to sign Dragusin from Genoa in a €30m deal, reports in Italy claim.

Fabrizio Romano and Sky Sport Italia say Spurs have made a formal bid worth €25m plus €5m add-ons. Bayern had been linked with the 21-year-old defender, but both sources claim the Bundesliga giants have not made a formal offer for Il Grifone.

It is also reported that Tottenham’s offer includes the loan of English right-back Spence, 23, who has recently returned from a six-month loan spell at Leeds United.

It is understood that Spence will remain on loan at Marassi until the end of the season.

Dragusin, 21, has scored two goals in 19 Serie A games this season. He joined Genoa from Juventus on an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy for €5.5m in 2022.
