Rugani in action for Cagilari

Real Betis have reportedly made contact with Juventus over a move for Italian defender Daniele Rugani. The centre-back spent the second half of the 2020-21 season on loan at Cagliari and had an impressive stint there.

According to Tutto Mercato, Manuel Pellegrini is looking to bolster his side's defense this summer and has identified Rugani as a potential candidate. The defender is currently out of favor at Juventus and the club are willing to part ways with him. However, it is unclear whether they will allow Rugani to be sold or go out on loan again next season.
