Daniele Rugani Heads to AS Roma

DBasia.news –  Juventus are bringing in players in the transfer market this summer. La Vecchia Signora has recruited eight new players.

After successfully bringing in new names to Turin, the Bianconeri has also began to release some of their players, Joao Cancelo became the last player to leave.

Now according to the latest report from Calciomercato, the club which currently plays under Maurizio Sarri’s direction will also immediately sell Daniele Rugani to AS Roma. The player will first be loaned for one season with a purchase option worth of 25 million euros at the end of the loan period.

Rugani’s opportunity to leave did not seem surprising, especially after Juve successfully won the hunt for Matthijs de Ligt from Ajax Amsterdam. The presence of the 20-year-old player has made it increasingly difficult for him to secure a place in the back line, on the other hand, Sarri can also still rely on Leonardo Bonucci or Giorgio Chiellini at the heart of the defense.

Initially, Juventus would release the former Empoli player to an English club, especially Rugani was also included in Arsenal’s shopping list, however, until the transfer window for the Premier League club officially closes on August 8, no agreement was established and the Gunners prefered to bring in David Luiz from Chelsea.

Daniele Rugani is not the only Juventus player on the Gialorossi I shopping list, before that, the club coached by Paulo Fonseca was also eyeing Gonzalo Higuain.
