The Lilywhites sent scouts to watch him in action earlier this season and they are now prepared to table a bid.

However, according to German outlet Sport BILD, Bayern Munich are also interested.

Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel is understood to be keen on the prospect of signing the centre-back.

However, Tottenham are still leading the transfer race for Dragusin.

The Romania international is reportedly valued at around £26million.

Dragusin made his professional debut for Juventus in 2020 but struggled to establish himself as a regular first team player.

He was subsequently loaned out three times to Sampdoria, Salernitana and Genoa.

The defender completed a permanent move to Genoa last January and has since made 62 appearances.

Tottenham are also on the verge of signing Timo Werner on loan until the end of the season.

The deal is expected to include an option to buy for around £14million.
