The agent of Genoa defender Radu Dragusin has confirmed he loaned money to Nicolo Fagioli.

The Juventus midfielder has admitted he sought a loan from Dragusin to pay gambling debts. However, he informed his former Juve teammate the money was for a watch.

“Radu is not guilty of anything," agent Florin Manea told Sportitalia.

“Fagioli even asked the shop where he got the watch to give him a receipt. Radu did not know what the watch was really got and Fagioli only asked him for a loan once.

“Radu was kept in the dark about everything and is very sad to hear of Fagioli's problems, but he is not involved."
