Italian central defender Daniele Rugani has reportedly completed a €40 million move to Chelsea, according to Sport Mediaset.
The 23-year-old will arrive at Stamford Bridge from Juventus, where he struggled to make himself a regular name on the team-sheet.
With a rumoured price of €40 million, the youngster is a player that Maurizio Sarri is a known admirer of.
Rugani’s arrival is a big hint that Sarri is closing in on his move to Stamford Bridge.
Making just 54 appearances over the last three seasons, Rugani will be given the chance to grow into a defensive superstar in West London.
A youth product of Empoli, Juventus loaned him back to his boyhood club in the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons, where the phenom made 78 appearances across the two campaigns.
Despite his young age, Rugani has received seven caps for Italy.
The Lucca-born centre-back looks set to compete with likes of Antonio Rüdiger, Cesar Azpilicueta, Andreas Christensen, and club captain Gary Cahill.
