Agent of Genoa defender Dragusin: I met with Newcastle; AC Milan and Inter in touch

The agent of Genoa defender Radu Dragusin admits offers are arriving.

However, Florin Manea says he will only leave for big money.

He told TVPlay: "He grew up in Juventus, he is disappointed at having been sold but in life it happens. I have never had a doubt about Radu, given that I know the great work he does every day.

"He pays attention to every single detail, especially his diet. He was lucky to share the same dressing room as Ronaldo, Buffon, Chiellini. Even today the latter gives him some advice. His dream is to reach the highest levels."

On a possible return to Juve, Manea said: "I wouldn't like it, but in life you never know even if Genoa will certainly ask a lot of money for him.

"Newcastle's offer of around 30 million euros? It's not an offer from Newcastle, I had meetings with both Newcastle and other teams. Genoa would only sell him for an offer above 30 million euros.

"He's a 2002 player and he still has a lot of room for improvement. He is aware he is now at 85% of his potential.

"Will Dragusin leave Italy? Probably. Milan and Inter have also asked, but at those figures he can only go to Premier League teams. Interest from Claudio Lotito's Lazio? No."
