Daniele Rugani

[Gunpowder]

It makes no sense.

Out-of-favour Juventus defender Daniele Rugani, 21, is being linked with a move to the Premier League with both Arsenal and Manchester United considering January moves for the centre-back. (Independent)

He's a much more mature and calm defender than Chambers who should be sent out on loan to gain much-needed experience. In terms of defending style he's a lot like Mertesacker; not aggressive and impetuous but more a reader of the game who times his tackles very well and brings a sense of calm to a defence. He spots danger a lot quicker than most centre backs and looks a bit lanky due to his height and build but don't let that deceive you into thinking he's slow or weak because he's anything but that. Can't hold being unable to displace defenders like Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli against any young defender. His situation is most unfortunate and i'm convinced a ton of clubs will be lining up to bring him in. I do think Juventus will be extremely reluctant to sell him; a loan move in January seems to be the most likely scenario.

Would love him here, but I've heard a figure of 25 million being thrown around? No way is he worth that much, especially when we he'd probably be sitting on the bench here for a couple of seasons, not to mention that Gabby is fine as backup anyway.

Arsenal's wish to buy 21 year old confirmed to us twice, offer already made



As you know if you’ve been following us for a while, the aim of this website is to try and clarify transfer rumour stories as best we can.

Obviously, it would be impossible to do so for every story published on the internet, as some aren’t even worth clarifying such is their ridiculousness, but when we feel there’s something in them, we try and get as much information as we can.

Over the past few days, numerous reports have emerged in Italy that Daniele Rugani could be on his way out from Juventus in the near future, whether it be on loan or on a permanent basis.

The Serie A champions have previously stated they are not interested in selling the 21-year-old defender as they see him as a talent for the future, but a loan could be possible. The Italian media this week brought up the idea of Manchester United and Arsenal interest, and even of bids being made.

While we aren’t aware of the details, Sport Witness has been informed that those reports are correct and Arsenal and Manchester United have both made offers for the player recently. It's the second time we've had Arsenal interest backed up, after finding out in September that the London club were interested and Rugani would look positively toward a move there.

The Premier League sides aren’t the only ones, as we’ve been told Inter, Napoli and seven other Italian clubs, as well as unnamed Spanish teams, have all enquired about the young defender’s availability.

While this may not be much, it is, however, confirmation that both Arsenal and Manchester United are after the young centre-back.

Daniele Rugani played every single league game for Empoli last season without getting booked once, the only defender to do so.

Now back at Juventus, the young defender has only been handed two minutes of first-team football this season.

Turn him into a DM?

25m is still half of what teams are reportedly offering for John Stones

[Callum]

Strange. Can't imagine us being in for another centre-back. I won't complain if we get him though.

chambers needs a loan and mert shouldn't be a starter anymore next season

Doesn't sound like Wenger to turn a centreback into a midfielder... normally he goes the other way.

Then those teams are idiots. It's not like we're desperate for a centreback, we've got 3 that are more than capable so we can afford to wait until a better deal comes along. Meanwhile, we can spend that money on getting a striker or holding mid.

I love me an Italian defender

Though highly rated in Italy, Daniele Rugani has struggled for game time at Juventus and could try to force through a move elsewhere in the January window, with Manchester United and Arsenal reportedly interested.
