Daniele Rugani's agent admits Maurizio Sarri's Napoli sought him, but reveals 'Juventus won't sell him to anyone'.
The 21-year-old is considered among the brighter prospects for the Italian defence, and he was coached by Sarri himself during his time in Empoli.
Later Sarri would move on to Napoli while Rugani was picked up by Juventus, but according to the player's agent Davide Torchia there's still a link between the two.

“It's true, Sarri contributed to Rugani's development,” he told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.
“Over the last two years he taught him how to play in his role, how to apply his game intelligently.
“He absorbed concepts faster because he's mentally open.
“In any case I've never been contacted officially by Napoli, as is right and respectful of everyone. They spoke with Juventus first.
“But the club always told me that they believed in the youngster and that if somebody in their starting defence had some trouble, he could cut out his own space.
“They told me they wouldn't give him away to anyone and I have to say they've been true to their word.”
