Radu Drăgușin was the Romanian defender who left Tottenham Hotspur on loan for Fiorentina in summer 2026.
Tottenham confirmed that Drăgușin joined Fiorentina on loan for the 2026–27 season. The move sent him to Serie A, the league in which he had developed and first made a senior reputation before moving permanently to Tottenham. It was a season-long loan rather than a permanent transfer.
Drăgușin is a centre-back and one of Romania’s most prominent modern defenders. He came through Juventus’s academy and gained senior experience with clubs including Sampdoria, Genoa and Salernitana before Tottenham signed him from Genoa in January 2024.
The main possible mix-up is nationality and position: Drăgușin is Romanian, while Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Kevin Danso are different Tottenham defenders from other footballing backgrounds. Another easy mistake is reading the Fiorentina deal as a sale; Tottenham’s announcement described it as a loan for one campaign.
