Young defender Radu Dragusin may now have a future at Juventus beyond this season after a reported change in stance by the Italian club.

The 19-year-old came up through the Juve youth ranks after moving to Turin in 2018. The Romania Under-21 ace has featured mainly for the club’s Under-23s this term.

He is due to fall out of contract at the end of the current campaign. It was thought that the Serie A giants had no intention of offering him new terms.
