Juventus eyeing Ajax star Matthijs De Ligt and Atletico Madrid’s Diego Godin to replace Chelsea target Daniele Rugani
The 23-year-old has already agreed personal details with the Stamford Bridge side
JUVENTUS are reportedly eyeing moves for Atletico Madrid defender Diego Godin and Ajax starlet Matthijs de Ligt as they look to find a replacement for Chelsea target Daniele Rugani.
According to Italian outlet Tuttosport, Rugani is on the verge of a move to Stafford Bridge and it is claimed the ex-Empoli defender has agreed personal terms with the Premier League outfit.
Rugani is regarded as one of the most gifted defenders on the continent.
He has established himself in the Italian national squad but still struggles for regular action with Juve.
The 23-year-old is considered as a rotational option by Old Lady boss Massimiliano Allegri, having played 22 times in Serie A last season and only 110 minutes in the Champions League.
Maurizio Sarri is expected to be appointed as Chelsea boss and the club have been targeting players despite the uncertainty over their managerial situation.

Sarri also tried to sign Rugani for Napoli during his time in charge.
The ex-Hellas Verona chief knows all about his capabilities, having worked with the Italian international for two seasons at Empoli.
Rugani is under contract until June 2021 at the Old Lady.
