Chelsea have been heavily linked with a move for Rugani throughout the summer, and had reportedly agreed a €40m deal with Juventus last week.

That appears to be wide of the mark, though, with Chelsea still in talks over a deal for the defender.

Rugani has been capped seven times by Italy, and made 22 appearances in the Serie A for Juventus last season.

The 23-year-old is one of Maurizio Sarri’s top transfer targets ahead of next season, with three weeks until the window slams shut.
