A close friend even shared a video of the fans chanting my name, which gave me chills. It’s heartening to know that they continue to support me, even though I am no longer there.”

Brentford is widely recognized as a club that values family, and they have shown me nothing but exceptional support. I am extremely grateful to them, particularly the fans who have stood by me since the beginning. I feel a deep sense of obligation to give back to them.

Bayern Munich and AC Milan are keeping a close eye on the status of Radu Dragusin, considering the possibility of joining the race to acquire the Romanian defender.

Sky reports that Genoa is currently demanding €30m for Dragusin, while Tottenham has offered €25m with potential additional payments, and Napoli has put together a deal that includes two players.
