Chelsea have made a £35 million (€40m/$46m) offer for Juventus defender Daniele Rugani, according to the Evening Standard.
Incoming manager Maurizio Sarri managed Rugani during a loan spell at Empoli from 2013 to 2015, and now wants to make the Italy international his first signing at Chelsea.
Chelsea are preparing to double Rugani's wages at Stamford Bridge in an effort to convince the 23-year-old to move to London.
