AC Milan have entered the race for Radu Dragusin and there are ongoing talks over a potential player-plus-cash deal, according to a report.
La Repubblica reported earlier today that Milan are now the team that are in pole position to sign Dragusin from Genoa, and it appears that Lorenzo Colombo could be the key to unlocking things in their favour.
According to the latest update from Di Marzio, Napoli and Tottenham are the two teams who moved first and most concretely, but the Serie A side have stuck with their offer of recent days, while the Spurs are increasing it more and more.
The English club remain ahead in the race and aim to close the deal as soon as possible to avoid competition from other teams, because Bayern Munich are on the hunt for a defender and have shown interest in the last few hours.
However, the journalist adds that Milan have also tried in the last few hours, trying to understand if there is the possibility of including Colombo in the operation, without however formulating any official offer.
It would require around €20m in cash in addition to Colombo to reach the valuation, and there have been contacts with the entourage of both the striker and Dragusin to see if an agreement can be set up.
Today could be an important day. Juventus, meanwhile, retain 20% of the future resale after they let him go to Genoa, which is why they might favour a player-plus-money operation (thus reducing the cash sum and the amount they would lose).
