Agent: ‘Rugani benched too often’

By Football Italia staff

Daniele Rugani’s agent admits he’s “on the bench a lot at Juventus”, and doesn’t rule out a Napoli move.

The defender returned to the Bianconeri this summer, having been co-owned by Empoli, but is yet to make a Serie A appearance.

“Right now you can definitely see that Rugani is on the bench a lot at Juventus,” Davide Torchia told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.

“Despite his lack of playing time at Juventus, he’s done very well for Luigi Di Biagio’s Under-21 national team, so he hasn’t lost his rhythm.

“Napoli? In the summer there was a discussion related to the situation with Marek Hamsik, who Juventus liked. We’ll see.

“Napoli are interested in Rugani, and that’s definitely pleasing, but honestly there are no negotiations taking place at the moment, and it’s too early to talk about it.”
