Chelsea could yet sign Daniele Rugani after his contract talks with Juventus stalled. The pair worked together at Empoli but Rugani turned down the offer to stay with the Italian champions. And according to Calcio Mercato, a month's negotiations over a contract extension have failed to make any headway. Rugani's contract with Juventus runs until the summer of 2021 but the uncertainty could tempt Sarri to make another bid as he tries to replace Gary Cahill. Rugani is now only behind Bonucci in the Juventus defensive pecking order but also Giorgio Chiellini, Medhi Benatia and Andrea Barzagli.
