SERIE A - Sampdoria, Dragusin's agent: "He'll join Juventus back"

Signed by Sampdoria, on a loan spell from Juventus, in the late stages of last summer window, 19-year old Romanian U21 international centre-back Radu Dragusin is still on a parent-club deal with Bianconeri until June 2025. Asked about his future by Sport.ro, his agent, Florin Manea, talked about the future of the up-and-coming backliner, still tracked by such clubs as Arsenal and RB Leipzig:

"Sampdoria wanted to insert a buy-back option underlying on the agreement. Juventus, however, wanted to be just a straight loan deal, so Radu is going to join them back, once current season's over. They believe in him, as a team asset, ahead of the upcoming future. Though he's not getting a lot of game time yet, Radu's temporary tenure with Blucerchiati is going to be a very valuable one, I'm sure about that".
