Barcelona are reportedly considering signing Juventus defender Daniele Rugani, who has struggled to secure regular playing time at the Allianz Stadium. Despite being lower in the pecking order, Rugani has proven to be a solid performer when allowed to play.
Barcelona are currently facing defensive problems and are actively seeking experienced defenders to bolster their squad at a low cost. According to a report from Football Italia, Rugani has now been added to Barcelona’s list of potential targets following his impressive performances for Juventus this season.
During a period when Juventus faced absences in defense, Rugani stepped up and contributed significantly to the team’s good form. The report suggests that Barcelona are considering a move for Rugani, and there is a possibility of securing him on a free transfer at the end of the season if he does not sign a new contract with Juventus. This potential transfer could provide Barcelona with an experienced defensive option to address their current challenges at the back.
Juve FC says
It’s unclear why Rugani hasn’t been given a new contract because he’s been one of our best backup stars.
However, we trust the club’s judgment in this regard and they will make the right decision regarding his future.
