Dragusin chose Spurs over a move to Bayern Munich or staying put with Genoa. Manea flagged up the possibility of engineering a move back to Italy with Napoli – especially if ex-Spurs boss Antonio Conte takes over. He said: “If he doesn’t play, then we have to think about other solutions, but he only arrived in January, so that seems unlikely right now.
“If Bayern and Tottenham hadn’t been there, he would’ve chosen Napoli. If they were to offer a loan, especially if Antonio Conte was the coach, then we could evaluate that. I can say that if Postecoglu told Dragusin that he is only considered an alternative to the other centre-backs, then he would not stay just to sit on the bench.”
