Roma are stepping up their efforts to land Tottenham defender Radu Dragusin as the January window gathers pace.

The Giallorossi are understood to have reopened talks in recent hours, as per DiMarzio, with fresh contacts aimed at finding common ground on the structure and figures of a potential deal.

Dragusin remains high on Roma’s shortlist as they look to reinforce their defensive options for the second half of the season.

The Romanian centre-back only recently returned to Tottenham’s matchday squads at the end of December, following an eleven-month absence caused by a serious cruciate ligament injury.

His comeback has naturally prompted interest from clubs monitoring his situation, with Roma pushing hardest to bring him back to Serie A.

Dragusin’s profile is well known in Italy after spells with Juventus and Genoa, and Roma believe his physicality and familiarity with the league would make him a valuable addition.

Discussions are ongoing, with the capital club trying to understand Tottenham’s stance and the feasibility of a January move as they look to accelerate their market plans.
