Chelsea have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Daniele Rugani with the defender's agent confirming Juventus have no desire to sell.

Standard Sport understands the player has agreed to move to the Premier League on a five-year deal, but negotiations with the Old Lady continue to drag on.

Chelsea, and new manager Maurizio Sarri, have made just one signing so far this window but Rugani's agent Davide Torchia feels his client would suit the Blues well.

"The Blues really like Rugani and have made an important offer. Juve are aware of the interest of Chelsea but for now they don’t want to sell the player," Torchia said Radio VS.

"We know everything has a price, Rugani is a defender that would make Chelsea’s manager happy and it would be a good investment for Chelsea.

"Rugani wants to play more games because he feels that he has the technical and moral qualities to do a career similar to those of Chiellini and Barzagli.”

Juventus are reportedly looking at bringing Leonardo Bonucci back to the club after one season with AC Milan but Torchia feels any return would have no impact on Rugani's future.

He continued: "I’ve read [Juventus CEO Giuseppe] Marotta’s words and he has basically confirmed that [Bonucci] will return to Juve. If Rugani remains at Juventus his relationship with Caldara won’t be a problem at all.

"They are professionals and when Rugani arrived at Juve he had Barzagli, Chiellini and Bonucci ahead of him. Despite that he still had some game time."
