Juventus will need to prepare for a serious battle to keep their promising players at the Allianz Stadium this summer. Fellow Serie A club Lazio are apparently nurturing a plan to snap up one of the Bianconeri’s key defenders, it has been reported.
According to reports, Lazio have identified Juventus center-back Daniele Rugani as the priority option to strengthen their defense ahead of the upcoming season. Although no contact has been made as of yet, the Biancocelesti believe they can sign the player this summer.
The report states that new Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri is the one making the push for the transfer as he is not impressed with recent signing Denis Vavro following the pre-season training camp in Auronzo di Cadore.
Sarri doesn’t hide his admiration for Rugani. They both worked together during their stint with Empoli several years ago and the manager is well aware of the player’s capabilities.
That could be a decisive factor in tempting the defender to leave Turin for the Biancocelesti. Another factor is that he is an established member of the Bianconeri’s squad. He spent the previous season on loan at Rennes and Cagliari.
