Daniele Rugani was one of the first names that was linked with Juventus after Sarri took over because the player and manager worked together at Empoli.

Rugani was not a regular starter at Juventus but he was one for the future because Giorgio Chiellini, Medhi Benatia, Andrea Barzagli and Leonardo Bonucci are aged 33, 31, 37 and 31 respectively.

Considering this, it is understandable that Juve were unwilling to part with a player who could take over the mantle.

The player’s agent, Davide Torchia, revealed to RMC Sport that Chelsea had a huge offer for the player rejected by Juventus.

"Juventus have no desire to sell him, not even for a high price which, among other things, no-one in Italy could afford
However, the player has never asked to leave. Only when a very important offer arrives is it normal to listen, but Juventus have rejected all kinds of offers to keep him in Turin.
Chelsea made a really big bid, which was close to being unthinkable for me, but Juventus didn't relent.”
