Leicester City are at the front of the race to sign Juventus defender Daniele Rugani.

That's according to Sky Italy, who claim Juventus are looking to offload the centre-back in the January transfer window.

Rugani has fallen out of favour this season, making just one league appearance all season.

Juventus are looking to strengthen their defensive options with Barcelona's Jean-Clair Todibo strongly linked.

Whether the Old Lady get their man or not, it is being reported Rugani is still likely to leave.

And Sky Italy believe the King Power Stadium is the 25-year-old's most likely destination.

Reports claim Juventus are looking for €25million, but they could loan him out in January with an option to buy.

Leicester are expected to look for a centre-back this month having not brought anyone in to replace Harry Maguire in the summer.

Brendan Rodgers could also allow defender Filip Benkovic to leave on loan during the window, though he is said to be keen to find a replacement first.

Rugani could be that man, though Arsenal and AC Milan are also reported to be interested.
