The 24-year-old Romanian centre-back has found game time hard to come by in north London and is now keen to move on in pursuit of regular football. A report from Fanatik states that he has already approved a potential summer switch to a German side.
Tottenham are reportedly willing to let him go for around €20 million, with the Bundesliga club prepared to meet that valuation. Whether all parties can reach a full agreement in the coming weeks remains to be seen.
Having previously impressed in Italy, the defender will be aiming to revive his career with consistent minutes in Germany. RB Leipzig, known for their ambitious setup, could offer him the platform he needs to play regularly and develop further.
Widely regarded as a promising talent across Europe, staying on the bench at Spurs could hinder his progress. A move to Germany might give him the chance to quickly establish himself as a key figure at Leipzig.
His agent, Florin Manea, has already travelled to Germany for discussions, including a visit to the club’s headquarters, and was present at their clash with Union Berlin.
Tottenham signed the defender from Genoa for roughly €25 million in 2024, and a €20 million sale would allow them to recover a significant portion of that fee. The focus will then shift to whether they can secure a suitable replacement.
