Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Daniele Rugani from Juventus.
According to the Mirror's Adrian Kajumba, Juventus are aware of the Blues' interest and discussed the issue with Rugani's camp on Thursday during a meeting in Milan between club officials and his representatives.
The centre-back was bought by Juventus while Chelsea boss Antonio Conte was manager in Turin, and the coach also called him up to Italy's senior side for the first time, although Rugani did not make his Azzurri debut until after Conte had left.
Maurizio Sarri—who is said to be the primary candidate to replace Conte this summer if he leaves Stamford Bridge—oversaw Rugani's formative years at Empoli, so he too is familiar with the player.
