Chelsea wanted Dragusin but playing with Ronaldo at Juventus is a dream – agent

Recent Juventus debutant Radu Dragusin was being courted by Chelsea before the young central defender left Romania, but the player's agent says that he has made the right choice for his career by making a move to the Serie A champions.

Dragusin was handed his first senior appearance on Wednesday, replacing Merih Demiral after 69 minutes as the Bianconeri cruised past Dynamo Kiev 3-0 in the Champions League group stages.

The 18-year-old is clearly very highly rated by head coach Andrea Pirlo and could leave Frank Lampard's Chelsea feeling sheepish in years to come after failing to match Juve's enthusiasm when entering talks with representative Florin Manea.
