# Rugani and Piatek are Chelsea’s two January targets

Chelsea are reportedly targeting January moves for Juventus defender Daniele Rugani and Genoa striker Krzysztof Piatek.

[Reports in Italy have revealed](https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/revealed-the-two-serie-a-stars-that-chelsea-want-to-sign-in-janu-68133) that the Serie A duo are Chelsea’s two targets for the January window.

Rugani was heavily linked with a move to London during the summer and the Blues could reignite their interest in the player during the new year.

It has [been claimed](https://readchelsea.com/2018/10/03/ruganis-juventus-contract-talks-stall/) that the player’s contract talks have broken down in Turin, offering Chelsea hope of completing a deal.

Maurizio Sarri wants to add to his defensive options in January, with Gary Cahill being tipped to leave the club.

Piatek is also attracting interest from a number of European clubs after his fine start to the season with Genoa.

After scoring eight in six games, a host of clubs are [considering a January move](https://readchelsea.com/2018/10/04/atletico-madrid-join-the-race-to-sign-krzysztof-piatek/) to sign the striker.

Sarri has been short of options in the final third, with neither Olivier Giroud or Alvaro Morata proving to be prolific goalscorers for the club this season.
