Daniele Rugani

His agent says

"We can’t say for sure in life that the player is off the market completely, but we can confirm no formal offers have arrived.

"He is happy to be there and Juve are happy with him. It was purely a coincidence we had this meeting after those reports. I can assure you we did not talk about Chelsea."

Daniele Rugani at Chelsea . We proceed, and how we proceed. Waiting for Sarri to officially become Chelsea, the speeches with Juve for the defender go on quickly. The base for the card is over 30 million and is approaching 35. You are working on the bonuses to be guaranteed by Juventus and related to the various objectives of Chelsea in Premier. For Rugani, a five-year period of 3.5 million per season is ready. And Manolas remains another goal, with a 38 million clause to be paid. But for the moment, precedence to Rugani.

Why would Juventus let him go if he was any good?

He never really showed his form at Juve the same way he did at Empoli under Sarri. Might not fit their style exactly? He didn't play bad but its tough to beat out Chiellini/Barzagli. Plus they brought in Benatia and Howedes. Rugani played every minute in his last Empoli season without picking up a single booking while making the Serie A team of the season, the talent is certainly there,

He is not as rock solid a star as Koulibaly would be, but he is also an affordable CB who is young with proven talent and comfortable with Sarri(very important) I would have no problem bringing him in. CB rotation of Rugani, Christensen, Rudiger with the floating 4th as either Cahill or Luiz is rock solid for me.

Juventus would never sell if he’s that good. Their defense, CB’s, are old anyway so what’s the point in selling “the next big things”.

Chelsea fanbase as desperate one will hype everyone these days.

It could also be that they are trying to bankroll a move for Milinkovic-Savic. Juve never has trouble attracting talented defenders so they could see it as a chance to profit on a young player who is stagnating behind their more established 4 CBs. 

Potential win-win for all. Important that he performed so well under Sarri already and understands his style. Nobody is hyping him up as an immediate world class defender, just a very good prospect that could become a very good player for us.

Trust me, this guy is good. He is very comfortable on the ball and makes tackling look effertless. I think Sarri wants him for his calmness and eye to pick a pass. He is a ball playing CB. He can become a betteR Cahill and is most probably his replacement. I don't think Cahill will survive under Sarri in his system.

I don't see anything bad in this. We were never going to sign top tier players like Koulibaly anyway, we don't have it in us. Rugani tier is where we are shopping mostly anyway, it's in our price range. At least we are not going for the Lascelleses of this world. Seems like he'd be an excellent signing if Sarri comes. Now get Rugani, sign Seri, a new backup right-back if we sell Zap, ideally a winger also and all of a sudden we look a different team.

I'm afraid that a pairing of Christensen and Rugani might struggle against the more physical forwards as both players are essentially of the same kind with very similar strengths and weaknesses.
