Chelsea are looking increasingly likely to miss out on a deal to sign Daniele Rugani from Juventus.
According to reports from Sport Mediaset, as cited on Football Italia, Juventus are now refusing to sell the defender because they do not want to lose both Rugani and Mattia Caldara during the same window.
The latter is close to joining AC Milan as part of a swap deal that will take Leonardo Bonucci back to Juventus.
Gonzalo Higuain is also expected to arrive at the San Siro on loan as part of the deal.
Chelsea have been heavily linked with all three players, with both Rugani and Caldara earmarked as defensive signings.
Maurizio Sarri had been keen to bring the former Empoli defender to London with him.
After falling out of favour at Juventus, Rugani had agreed personal terms over a move to Stamford Bridge, but the dramatic deal involving Bonucci, Caldara and Higuain has complicated matters.
