"Allegri still wants to add another central defender to the squad, so as to have five players (plus David Odogu, who has only played a handful of minutes so far) available for three spots in the remaining 16 matches this season. The search isn't easy because Milan's intention remains to explore the market for a player with good experience, who is either low-cost or could arrive on loan with an option to buy. Oh, and ideally they can play all three centre-back positions."
"One option that's being explored is Radu Dragusin at Spurs, who has previously played for Juventus in Serie A as well as Sampdoria, Salernitana and most notably Genoa, where he earned a Premier League move. His English adventure, however, isn't going as well as the Romanian had expected. He played nine games and just 242 minutes in his first year in England, then 28 appearances for a total of 2,180 minutes last season, and only six appearances this season."
"Bad luck has largely held him back: a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee one year ago in a Europa League match against Elfsborg cost him 11 months of football. He would return on December 28th. Giorgio Furlani and Igli Tare's idea is to offer Spurs a loan with an option to buy, thus delaying the future permanent signing by six months. The English club, however, would like further guarantees, in essence an obligation to buy."
Allegri wants an additional central defender so Milan can field five players (plus David Odogu) for three positions across the remaining 16 matches. The club prefers an experienced, low-cost signing or a loan with an option to buy, ideally capable of playing all three centre-back roles. Radu Dragusin is being examined after spells at Juventus, Sampdoria, Salernitana and Genoa, but his Spurs tenure has included limited minutes and an 11-month absence following a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament. Milan proposes a loan with an option; Tottenham seeks an obligation. Mario Gila and Ljubo Puljic remain alternative targets.
