Fiorentina have brought Radu Dragusin back to Serie A from Tottenham on a loan deal with an obligation to buy at the end of the season.
Followers of Italian football were shocked after Fiorentina secured the return of Radu Dragusin to Serie A from Tottenham. According to Fabrizio Romano, CalcioMercato reports that the two camps have reached a verbal agreement to loan Dragusin, Romania international, with an obligation to buy at the end of the season.
According to the details of the deal, Fiorentina will pay €1.5 million as a loan fee, while the final buyout is set at €17.5 million at the end of the season. The move reunites Dragusin with Fiorentina sporting director Fabio Paratici, who first brought Dragusin to Tottenham from Genoa in 2024.

However, he only played a few minutes at center-back for Juventus before a series of loan stints to Sampdoria, Salernitana, and Genoa.
In Genoa, Dragusin finally starred, became the key to their promotion, and finally got a permanent transfer. His name rang out in Serie A in 2023 and 2024 so Tottenham grabbed him against Bayern Munich and other top clubs. However, his rise to the Premier League was delayed due to a serious knee injury which resulted in limited playing time.
Now, Dragusin has a new chance to rebuild his career in Italy. With Fiorentina's obligation to buy him at the end of the season, the team is clearly confident in his potential to be a cornerstone of the defense in the future.
