Empoli defender Daniele Rugani wants to stay next season.

The young defender has been formally sold to Juventus, but hopes to be allowed to remain with Empoli on-loan next term.

"It is still early to talk about the future, for the moment I do not know anything. But I think it would be the best for me to stay another year here.

"I would remain willingly, even go as far to still have this possibility.

"At Empoli I'm fine and I think this team would be ideal to complete my journey of development."
