Juve boss Allegri backs Arsenal and Napoli target Rugani
M.G.
As reported in the last days, Arsenal, Fiorentina and Napoli are interested in Juventus defender Daniele Rugani, who is not getting to play in Massimiliano Allegri’s team. Tomorrow, the 21-year-old could have a chance against his former team Empoli, but during the pre-match press conference, Allegri stated: “The fact that we are playing Empoli doesn’t mean that Rugani will play. He is a good player, very good, but we can’t forget that we’ve got four of the best defenders in Europe in the form of Chiellini, Barzagli, Bonucci and Caceres. However, Daniele represents Juve’s future, there are no doubts about it. He just needs to be patient and keep on working, as he has done until now”. The Tuscan manager also commented the rumours about the possibility for his former player Andrea Pirlo to join Inter Milan: “I’m not concerned. The next transfer window is getting closer and there are always more rumours: some players will leave, some others will arrive, but now we have other things to think about”.
