Arsenal will reportedly go toe to toe with Manchester United this summer as they look to secure a £25m deal for Juventus star Daniele Rugani, with the Gunners eyeing an upgrade on their under-fire centre back Shkodran Mustafi.
The Italy international has struggled to break into Massimiliano Allegri's first team this season despite the departure of Leonardo Bonucci last year, making just 17 Serie A appearances.
But Rugani is still held in high regard across Europe thanks to an outstanding two-year loan spell with Empoli between 2013 and 2015.
With promising defender Mattia Caldara set to return to Turin this summer following a season-long loan with Atalanta, Juventus will be willing to listen to offers for Rugani when the transfer window reopens on June 9th.
