Several Italian outlets are reporting that Roma are closing in on the acquisition of Juventus defender Daniele Rugani. Both Tuttosport and Corriere dello Sport claim that the Giallorossi are nearing a move for the 25 year-old. The Turin-based newspaper claims that Roma will acquire Rugani on loan with an obligation to buy for a figure between €25-30 million while the latter reports that the Giallorossi could insert highly rated youngster Alessio Riccardi into the operation. RomaPress contacted Michaelangelo Minieri, the agent of Riccardi, for a comment on the situation, however, he opted not to speak at this time.
