The defender reportedly has a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ with his club that would allow him to leave the Serie A side this winter if they receive a £26m fee for his services. Newcastle United are in the market for defensive reinforcements this winter and Dragusin, who has played 15 times in all competitions for Genoa this season after his permanent switch from Juventus, could be someone they look to sign when the transfer window opens.

At just 21, Dragusin has a bright future in the game and has already been capped 12 times by Romania.

Man Utd ‘eye’ Bundesliga star

Manchester United have joined the race to sign Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy, with Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur also credited with an interest. Guirassy has starred for Stuttgart this season, netting 16 goals in just 11 appearances in all competitions with 15 of those coming in the Bundesliga - a haul beaten only by Harry Kane.

Old Trafford has now emerged as a potential destination for the 27-year-old with Erik ten Hag keen to bolster his attacking options during the January transfer window. Newcastle, meanwhile, may look to add cover for Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson when the winter window opens.
