Report: Wolverhampton Wanderers rivalling Arsenal for Juventus defender Daniele Rugani

According to Sportitalia’s Alfredo Pedulla, Wolverhampton Wanderers are rivalling Arsenal for the signature of Juventus defender Daniele Rugani this summer.

“For Rugani not only Arsenal: like to Wolverhampton and he had also taken a survey on Manchester United before taking Maguire.”

The Gunners have already seen their offer of a two-year loan with an option to buy knocked back, with the Old Lady keen to sell the 24-year-old. Manchester United were also looking at Rugani, but have since completed an £80 million record move for England international Harry Maguire. Wolves’ willingness to buy him the four-time Serie A winner right now could see them beat Arsenal to his signature, and it will be interesting to see what happens before Thursday’s deadline.
