According to Gazzetta, the Tuscans are interested in Dragusin, a former Genoa centre-back who has recently returned to action after a knee injury suffered in 2025.

Roma and Napoli had previously been linked with the Romania international who will likely be looking for playing time in the second part of the campaign.

Fiorentina are set to appoint Fabio Paratici as their new sporting director, and according to Gazzetta, Dragusin isn’t the only defender on the Tuscans’ agenda.

The pink paper claims Dennis Vavro of Wolfsburg has been offered to the Serie A side, while Diego Coppola (Brighton) and Rodrigo Becao (Fenerbahce) are listed as alternatives.
