Dragusin Joins Fiorentina on Season-Long Loan With Conditional Buy
The club structured the move so Fiorentina can make the transfer permanent if performance targets are met which leaves fees and trigger rules unresolved across reports.
Overview
- Fiorentina and Tottenham confirmed on Wednesday that Radu Dragusin has joined the Italian club on a season-long loan with a conditional obligation to buy.
- Reports differ on the price and mechanics of the deal with Football Italia citing a €1.5m loan plus a €17.5m obligation triggered at 22 appearances and other outlets reporting a €25m obligation.
- Dragusin suffered an anterior cruciate ligament tear in January 2025 that kept him out for nearly a year and he made only limited appearances for Tottenham in 2025/26 before the move.
- Fiorentina sporting director Fabio Paratici negotiated the transfer and the move reunites Dragusin with former Italy colleagues, which the player said helped prompt his return to Serie A.
- Key next steps are verification of the contract terms because clubs have not published full details and Fiorentina’s use of the obligation clause could decide whether the transfer becomes permanent and how Dragusin rebuilds his career.
