Radu Dragusin’s name remains on the sporting director’s list, but the Romanian defender isn’t a priority.

The deal with Tottenham remains complicated because Spurs haven’t opened up about a loan and because they lost center-back Ben Davies to injury.

According to the newspaper, Roma’s priorities remain the wingers.

They’re interested in Fiorentina’s Niccolò Fortini, with Massara attempting a new move in the coming days, raising his offer to €10 million, despite the Viola’s asking price being around €16 million.

Then, they’ll try to send Kostas Tsimikas back to Liverpool. For the winger, Mathys Tel could be a popular option again.

Tottenham have excluded him from the UEFA list, and the Frenchman is reportedly looking to leave London. In the Netherlands, they’re eyeing Ajax’s Mika Godts and Feyenoord’s Leo Sauer. As for the latter, his father’s denials aren’t particularly alarming.
