The Romania international is one of Roma’s priority targets to strengthen their defence in the January window.

Roma have already made an offer to sign Dragusin on loan with an obligation to buy tied to their Champions League qualification this season.

Leipzig, on the other hand, are open to negotiating a permanent move for the 23-year-old.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Dragusin would prioritise a permanent transfer, but the defender’s agent suggested last week that his client would be open to joining the Giallorossi.

Dragusin has recently returned to action after a knee injury and has only made one five-minute appearance with Spurs in 2025-26.
