Daniele Rugani is reportedly unconvinced about a move to Galatasaray as he looks to stay in Italy, putting Empoli, Sampdoria and Hellas Verona on high alert.

The 28-year-old Italian is no longer in Massimiliano Allegri’s plans in Turin as the club look to pick up a new defender, so they’ve been looking to find a suitable home for the centre back in recent weeks. Various clubs have come forward in Serie A, looking for loan deals, but things got interesting when Galatasaray emerged with a definitive offer. 

As reported by TMW, although the Galatasaray option is satisfactory on a financial level for both Rugani and Juventus, the player has personal and familial concerns about a move to Turkey, so he’d prefer to stay in Serie A.

Empoli, Sampdoria and Hellas Verona are all keen on making loan moves for the 28-year-old and the Ligurians are planning to make another approach soon to try and edge out a deal. All three clubs would require Juventus to contribute to the defender’s salary, however, as he currently earns over €3m net per season.

3 thought on “Juventus’ Rugani to snub Galatasaray in bid for Serie A stay – report”
  1. His new contract will be halved at least – have no idea how he never improved in any attribute. He seemed timid to me

  2. This is ridiculous Juve need to stand firm if he wants that €3 mil then he go to Turkey …if he wants to stay in Italy he should forfeit that salary and accept what those clubs can offer Juve don’t need to be paying no part of his or Arthur salary. This is what happen when previous management bought all these garbage players that can’t be sold

  3. This Rugani is useless in our team
    Anytime he plays then juve must concede a goal
    He’s so useless in all areas
