# Chelsea submit €30m for Juventus defender Daniele Rugani

Chelsea have reportedly submitted a €30 million bid to sign Daniele Rugani from Juventus this summer.

[Calcio Mercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/chelsea-make-offer-for-juve-star-defender-and-it-s-proof-sarri-d-98083) reports that deal could be a sign that Maurizio Sarri is closing in on his move to Chelsea.

Sarri is said to be a fan of Rugani, who has attracted the interest of Arsenal previously. The pair worked together at Empoli and he even tried to sign him for Napoli.

The report claims that a deal could be struck if Chelsea meet the €40 million asking price.

Chelsea could be in the market for defenders this summer, with concerns over the long-term futures of both Gary Cahill and David Luiz.

Luiz is reportedly ready to leave Chelsea, with both Arsenal and Napoli [interested](https://readchelsea.com/2018/06/14/chelsea-reject-17m-bid-from-arsenal-for-david-luiz/) in signing the player.

Cahill endured a mixed end to the season and could fall into a more rotational role next season with Sarri set to bring in his own players if he is chosen to replace Antonio Conte this summer.
