Florin Manea (Drăgușin's agent):
The decision was made this morning at 8 am. We were determined to go to Tottenham, but the offer came from Bayern, so we stopped. I was on my way to the airport.
I said we have to think carefully and evaluate. Bayern is one of the biggest clubs. I can't believe we turned Bayern down but that's the decision. I took it with Radu and his family.
I informed Bayern that this was the decision, that they came in the last metres and that it was difficult to change our decision.
Maybe in the future we will get there. We are a bit mind-blown. To turn down Bayern... but it was ultimately what Radu and his family wanted.
He is happy we're going to Tottenham.
Of course, Radu also thought about Bayern's offer. We made the decision in the morning. It's hard to make such a choice. Bayern strongly wanted him, but the official offer only came last night.
There was more money from Bayern, but he said that this is the right step for his career. We stayed up all night to think. I did not sleep at all. Both Napoli and AC Milan wanted him. But he dreamed of playing in the Premier League from a young age.
His best answer to this question would have been:
“We don’t comment about internal discussions.”
