In a surprising turn of events, Genoa center-back Radu Drăgușin has decided to join Tottenham Hotspur instead of Bayern Munich, according to his agent Florin Manea. The decision was made early in the morning, with Drăgușin and his family opting for the English Premier League club despite a late offer from Bayern.

Manea revealed that the offer from Bayern came last night, creating a dilemma for the player and his representatives. "We were determined to go to Tottenham, but the offer came from Bayern, so we stopped. I was on my way to the airport. But I said we have to think carefully and evaluate. Bayern is one of the biggest clubs. I can't believe we turned Bayern down," Manea expressed.

The agent further stated that although Bayern's offer included more financial incentives, Drăgușin prioritized his career progression. "There was more money from Bayern, but he said that this is the right step for his career. He dreamed of playing in the Premier League from a young age," Manea elaborated.

The last-minute offer from Bayern seemed to have caught Drăgușin and his team off guard, causing them to reconsider their original decision. However, after careful deliberation, they stood firm in their choice to join Tottenham, leaving Bayern disappointed.

While Manea acknowledged the stature of Bayern as one of the biggest clubs in the world, he emphasized that Drăgușin and his family ultimately wanted to pursue their dream of playing in the Premier League. "Maybe in the future we will get there. We are a bit mind-blown. To turn down Bayern... but it was ultimately what Radu and his family wanted. He is happy. We're going to Tottenham," he stated.

The news of Drăgușin's decision has raised questions about the current state of Bayern Munich's roster and who may be in jeopardy. Fans and pundits are left curious about how the club will navigate this unexpected turn of events.

As the talented Genoa center-back embarks on his journey to Tottenham Hotspur, it remains to be seen what impact he will have in the Premier League and how Bayern Munich will cope with this missed opportunity.
