Chelsea Reportedly Send Reps to Italy in Bid to Finalise Daniele Rugani Transfer

Chelsea have reportedly sent officials to Turin in an attempt to wrap up a deal for Juventus defender Daniele Rugani.

According to Gary Jacob of the Times, the Blues have intensified their interest in the centre-back and are seeking to get a deal done before the transfer deadline on August 9. However, it's said that Chelsea remain reluctant to meet the £40 million asking price Juventus have placed on the 23-year-old.

Also in the report Jacob noted that Chelsea have been offered Juventus' chief playmaker Miralem Pjanic. Blues forward Alvaro Morata is also said to be attracting interest from AC Milan, although the Premier League side are said to have placed a whopping £58 million valuation on him.
