New Blues head coach Sarri is keen for the club to bring in Rugani and talks with Juventus are at an advanced stage.

An agreement seems to be close – despite reports in Italy claiming that Juve have rejected a bid from Chelsea.

Sarri is keen to strengthen Chelsea’s defence, having already boosted his midfield options by bringing in Jorginho from Napoli.
