Roma nearing Rugani acquisition


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.
