Blow to Juventus as midfielder target has 'agreement' to join Real Madrid, Neymar urges Napoli star to join PSG and more Serie A news: 29 March 2019

Hello and welcome to the Serie A news and rumors of the day! Without further ado, let's take a look at the top stories of the day surrounding the Italian league.

Rugani reveals his feelings after Juventus renewal

Daniele Rugani has officially extended his stay with the Old Lady until 2023. The Italian defender has been Juventus' most exciting prospect to replace the aging duo of Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonnuci.

However, Rugani has still seen his game time limited due to Massimiliano Allegri's favoritism for the 2 veteran defenders. Nevertheless, he has stated that he is happy with his situation and recent contract extension with Juventus.

"It's a really important day and I'm very happy. It was what I wanted and why I work hard every day. The most important thing is that from club there was the will to sign," he said.

"My dream? It's the same for everyone, no need to hide it. We hope to return to Madrid, to the stadium where we were a few weeks ago and to raise the cup. The biggest dream is certainly that."

"I remember my first match well, against Sevilla in the last few minutes. We won and I cherish that evening. Even the debut in the Coppa Italia was nice, immediately a Derby, at home in front of our fans and we won 4-0; a nice way to break the ice. My first in the league was against Carpi; it was the last game before the Christmas break.

We fought back from a difficult start, but we were in recovery mode and if we had stopped for a moment it would have been dangerous. On the other hand, while risking attacks, in a strange game, we took home a victory that allowed us to continue our journey; to win an incredible championship," he concluded.

Neymar pushes Allan to join PSG

Former Barcelona megastar Neymar has urged fellow Brazilian Allan to join PSG by phone, according to a report. The Napoli holding midfielder's price has skyrocketed in recent seasons due to his impressive display for the Italian outfit.

This season the Brazilian has played a key role for Napoli in Serie A and their short Champions League spell. Despite being eliminated by Liverpool at Anfield in the group stage, Allan still impressed many as he had 'singlehandedly' warded off the Red's relentless attacks by recording a mind-blowing total 11 tackles.

However, it is understandable that Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis will not let his prized midfielder depart for cheap as the Italian outfit had previously rejected a €60 million offer from PSG. According to the latest rumors from sources very close to the French outfit, now they could arrive with an offer of 90 million plus 10 bonuses to tempt Laurentiis.

The report also states that Neymar is not the only player who has urged Allan to join the French giants. Other Brazilian PSG players such as Thiago Silva, Dani Alves, and Marquinhos also want the anchorman to join the Ligue 1 outfit.

Juventus are reportedly keen on signing French midfielder Adrien Rabiot.

He will be eligible for a free transfer after his current contract expires at the end of this season.

It is no secret that the Old Lady have a particular fondness in securing a bargain free transfers. The Italian outfit have completed the signing of top Premier League midfielders such as Emre Can and Aaron Ramsey as well as former Real Madrid star Sami Khedira without paying a single dime as transfer fees.

However, now the Old Lady have a major stumbling block as Real Madrid reportedly have a 'rough agreement' with the player.
