Italian outlet TuttoMercatoWeb has updated on Juventus’s transfer situation. Local center-back Daniele Rugani is close to a loan move to Ajax.
Despite Rugani only renewing his contract at the end of May, this was just a move by Juventus to prevent any financial loss should the player leave on a free transfer. Rugani is not part of new coach Motta’s plans, and Ajax have already reached an agreement with Juventus, with Rugani set to join the Dutch side on loan. Juventus will also cover part of the player’s salary during the loan period.
In terms of center-backs, Juventus’s main target remains Todibo of Nice, but before that, Juventus will first complete the departures of surplus players.
