This is the worst-case scenario for Tottenham Hotspur. Bayern Munich has entered the race to recruit Radu Dragucin (22, Genoah).

Germany's Sky Sports reported on the 8th that Bayern Munich is competing with Tottenham for Dragusin. According to what they have learned, they have put Dragusin on the list of candidates to recruit defenders.

The media added that Bayern Munich added a new name in the process of finding the most desired defense. They are internally discussing recruiting Dragousin, adding that Tottenham also wants him. Genoah is reportedly asking for a transfer fee of around 30 million euros.

"Bayern Munich is interested in Dragusin. The same goes for Tottenham and Napoli," he said. "Bayern Munich does not want to waste time negotiating the transfer fee." 30 million euros will not be a problem for a team as big as Bayern Munich.

It is a bolt out of the blue for Tottenham, which was still. Tottenham, which is in a hurry to reinforce its central defender, was also aiming for Dragusin as its No. 1 goal.

Tottenham currently has a loophole in its defense. Mickey Van der Ben is preparing to return to action after suffering a hamstring injury last month, and Christian Romero recently injured his hamstring. Eric Dier, a three-option center back, has long been outplayed by fullbacks Ben Davies and Emerson Royal.

Tottenham has selected a 191-cm tall Romanian national defender Dragusin as its new defender. The Juventus native has shown off his skills on loan at Genoa last season, and has completely moved to Genoa this season, where he is currently playing as a mainstay. His biggest strength lies in his ability to fight balls in the air and his strong physical strength.

Tottenham's recruitment of Dragusin looked smooth. "Tottenham seems to have reached an individual agreement with Dragusin on a long-term contract," said Fabrizio Romano, an expert on the European football transfer market, about a week ago. "As we disclosed two days ago, we are also negotiating with Genoese."

There is only negotiation with Genoah for the transfer fee. Romano said, "Genoah wants 30 million euros for Dragusin's ransom. However, Tottenham wants to spend 25 million euros. The two sides are discussing the issue."

There seemed to be no major stumbling block. Although Dragusin made a surprise announcement that he would not move this winter, optimism was prevalent in the U.K. Romano also explained, "Tottenham wants to quickly recruit a new central defender. They are now ready to send their first verbal offer to Dragusin. Postecoglou has also approved the offer."

However, the situation changed rapidly when Bayern Munich intervened. Tottenham had to beat German champion Bayern Munich to embrace Dragusin. Moreover, it is inevitably at a disadvantage in negotiating transfer fees with Genoa.

Bayern Munich is also expected to actively move to recruit Dragusin as it is urgent to strengthen its defense. Currently, Bayern Munich has to set up a central defense with two players, Mathias the Licht and Dayo Upamecano, as Kim Min-jae is away for the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup. 스포츠토토

If Bayern Munich acquires Dragusin, it is highly likely that Dier's recruitment will be canceled. Sky Sports Germany said recently that Bayern Munich and Dier have reached a complete verbal agreement. The contract period is at least 2025 and the transfer fee is less than 5 million euros, and Tottenham also revealed its green light. Everything is ready. We just need a final decision."

As a result, Tottenham was dreaming of the best scenario of recruiting Dragusin and releasing Dyer. However, when Bayern Munich suddenly changed its goal to Dragusin, the worst chance of leaving only Dyer was created in an instant.
