Another player in the transfer market spotlight for the whole of last season, Daniele Rugani, the 23-year-old Centre-back for Juventus has been one of the brick-walls for Juventus and Italy in their defence. He reportedly snubbed a contract from Chelsea last season to stay at Juventus.

He has been an apprentice to Leonardo Bonucci, who looks to hand over his defensive duties to Rugani, at both Juventus and Italy. There is no doubt about Rugani's capabilities as he has learned from Bonucci who is one of the most revered defenders in the world right now.
