Barcelona Interested in Bringing in Daniele Rugani

DBasia.news –  The presence of Merih Demiral and Matthijs de Ligt has added to the fierce competition between central defenders in Maurizio Sarri’s Juventus squad.

Indeed, Rugani has the opportunity to leave in the transfer window this summer of 2019, after AS Monaco and AS Roma, were interested in using his work. However, Bianconeri still refuses to let go as the prices offered by the two clubs were too low.

Even so, La Vecchia Signora is still eager to immediately release Rugani before the transfer window closes. Therefore, Calcio Mercato reports that Juventus intends to offer the 25-year-old player to La Liga’s defending champion, Barcelona.

As is known, Ernesto Valverde’s squad had showed interest in the player who played for Empoli in 2018. In fact, Juve’s Sport Director, Fabio Paratici will fly to Spain to discuss the potential of Rugani’s transfer to Barcelona.

Nevertheless, Valverde seems reluctant to add ammunition to his defense, especially on central defenders, considering he already has Gerard Pique, Clement Lenglet, and Samuel Umtiti.
