Tottenham could use their relationship with Fabio Paratici to ship off two stars to Fiorentina this summer as they prepare for a major clearout.
The North London outfit have signed Roberto De Zerbi on a five-year deal and are looking for a big rebuild under him. They will look to part ways with multiple players in the squad this summer, especially with no European football next season.
This clearout would get bigger if they get relegated to the Championship. However, regardless of the league, one player who is expected to leave Spurs is Radu Dragusin.
Fiorentina could sign Tottenham star Radu Dragusin
Earlier this month, Dragusin’s agent confirmed they rejected a €50m offer from Saudi Arabia. However, he has also garnered interest from AC Milan and RB Leipzig.

Journalist Nicholas Ceccarini has now reported that Paratici could look to bring Dragusin to Fiorentina in the summer. He told Tuttomercatoweb:
“History could reopen in the summer: Paratici, he knows very well Dragusin, who would like to return to Italy. For Fiorentina, with an important offer, it is an opportunity. The assessment is to €20 million and, in the summer, it could forcefully return to purple radar”.
Notably, Tottenham signed Dragusin from Genoa in January 2024 for €25 million plus add-ons. Hence, with his contract expiring in 2030, they are likely to look to recover their investment this summer. Moreover, if Milan and Leipzig stay interested, Spurs could look for a bidding war.
Dragusin has failed to impress during his time with the north London side. He has largely played as Cristian Romero’s backup and also suffered an ACL injury. However, with the likes of Kevin Danso and Luka Vuskovic in Tottenham’s ranks, the Romanian is unlikely to get regular playing time next season.
Tottenham could also ship off Manor Solomon to Fiorentina
Notably, Spurs also have Manor Solomon on loan at Fiorentina at the moment. Paratici signed him with the Italian side in January after his underwhelming six-month loan spell at Villarreal. He contributed one goal and four assists in 11 games for the Spanish side.
Solomon has helped the Italian side get out of the relegation zone, scoring two goals in five starts in the Serie A. If Fiorentina stay up, they could sign the former Fulham and Shakhtar winger permanently in the summer.

Moreover, De Zerbi is keen on signing Moise Kean at Tottenham. This could offer a perfect opportunity for a potential swap deal between the two clubs. However, any deal would hinge on both sides staying up in their respective leagues.
