Caldara sale blocks Rugani

By Football Italia staff

Juventus will hold on to Chelsea target Daniele Rugani if they give Mattia Caldara to Milan, reports in Italy say.

The Bianconeri are thought to be close to a deal to bring Leonardo Bonucci back to Turin, which would involve sending Caldara to San Siro.

According to SportMediaset, that would put the brakes on any negotiation with Chelsea for Rugani, as Juve are not willing to lose two young centre-backs.

The Blues had wanted to reunited Rugani with his former Empoli Coach Maurizio Sarri, but if Caldara to Milan goes through it appears that won’t be possible.
