Chelsea closing in on Juventus star

Chelsea look ever closer to signing Daniele Rugani as Juventus narrow down their list of potential replacements.

The Blues want the Italian defender under the advice of Maurizio Sarri, who is in line to replace Antonio Conte.

If the Old Lady lose Rugani, then they will move for Diego Godin or Mathijs De Ligt, report Tuttosport.

Sarri encourages a style of play that starts with his defenders playing out from the back, which means Rugani could quickly establish himself in London in a major culture change.

Compensation is currently being negotiated between Napoli and Chelsea, while Conte will also demand a sizeable payoff to walk away a year early from his job at Stamford Bridge.
