Red Devils Look to Strengthen Defense in January

Manchester United is reportedly ready to disrupt Arsenal's plans to sign Radu Dragusin by swooping in for the talented defender. The Red Devils have been struggling defensively in the Champions League, conceding 14 goals in just five matches. In an effort to shore up their backline, they have set their sights on the 21-year-old Romanian international.

Comparisons to Nemanja Vidic

Radu Dragusin, who is currently playing for Serie A side Genoa, has been likened to former Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic. This has only further increased United's interest in the young center-back, as they hope he can bring stability and leadership to their defense.

Advanced Talks and Release Clause

According to reports from Romanian outlet ProSport, Manchester United is already in advanced negotiations with Dragusin. They are said to be considering triggering his release clause, which is valued at £26 million. Despite signing a contract with Genoa until 2027, the defender's future seems uncertain as clubs from the Premier League continue to express interest.

Premier League Clubs Eyeing Dragusin

Florin Manea, Dragusin's agent, has confirmed that several Premier League clubs have been in discussions regarding a potential transfer. While Manchester United seems to be the frontrunner at the moment, it remains to be seen if any other clubs will make a last-minute attempt to secure the talented defender's services.

As the January transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Manchester United as they attempt to bolster their defensive lineup. Will they successfully hijack Arsenal's deal for Radu Dragusin? Only time will tell.
