Juve rule out Rugani exit?

By Football Italia staff

Juventus will not consider a loan or sale of Daniele Rugani unless the player demands it, according to reports.

Napoli and Sampdoria have been linked with the centre-back, who is yet to make an appearance in the league this season.

Gazzetta dello Sport write today that the Partenopei are ready with €20m for a January signing and that Samp want him on loan.

However, the paper believes that the Bianconeri won’t consider a sale and will now stay as he will have more space at the Turin club.

This is reportedly due to the change in formation at the club, from 4-3-3 to 3-5-2, which frees up an extra centre-back slot in the side.

Due to this change of system Gazzetta believes Rugani is now off the market unless he demands a move away to get more playing time.

Should that happen, the report says that Juve would consider a loan deal before evaluating other options to bring in as defensive backup.
