Agent: Chelsea made really big bid for Juventus defender Rugani

The agent of Daniele Rugani says he's staying with Juventus.

Rugani has been close to joining Chelsea this summer.

Juventus have no desire to sell him, not even for a high price which, among other things, no-one in Italy could afford," Davide Torchia told RMC Sport.

“However, the player has never asked to leave. Only when a very important offer arrives is it normal to listen, but Juventus have rejected all kinds of offers to keep him in Turin.

Chelsea made a really big bid, which was close to being unthinkable for me, but Juventus didn't relent.

“Khedira played only 10 more games than Daniele last season. I think Rugani can play even more this season."
