Agent: ‘Chelsea want Rugani, but…’

By Football Italia staff

Daniele Rugani’s agent confirms “the interest from Chelsea is there” but “neither the player nor Juventus have ever said they want a sale”.

The Blues have been linked with a €50m move for the centre-back, who would reunite with his former Empoli Coach Maurizio Sarri.

“The interest from Chelsea is there for Rugani,” Davide Torchia confirmed on Radio Sportiva.

“Beyond the figures though there’s a technical question, neither the player nor Juventus have ever said they want a sale.

“The operation with Chelsea is separate from [Gonzalo] Higuain, each deal has a different cost and different dynamics.

“The two players can bring in different profits. Rugani is calm and happy, he’s at the pre-season training camp and he’s thinking about Juventus.

“Tonight he’ll play against Bayern Munich, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have offers, just that he’s thinking of his current club, which is at the highest level.”
