Daniele Rugani’s agent insists his client is happy at Juve despite meeting with Bianconeri Sporting Director Fabio Paratici shortly after reports of a move to Chelsea emerged.
Rugani has been linked with a move to Chelsea where he could be reunited with former Empoli boss, Maurizio Sarri.
Football agent Davide Torchia was spotted meeting with Juve director Paratici in Milan, but was insistent that there have been no offers for Rugani and his client is happy in Turin.
“I know that nobody will believe me, but I met with Paratici because it was already scheduled. I didn’t know there was going to be this storm the day before,” agent Torchia told Sportitalia.
“We talked about how to improve the player and what to do going forward, but we didn’t set up any negotiations.”
Reports had suggested Rugani could be used as part of a deal to bring Sergej Milinkovic-Savic to Juventus.
“Absolutely not, Daniele has never been offered to anyone, let alone Lazio. We can’t say for sure in life that the player is off the market completely, but we can confirm no formal offers have arrived.
“He is happy to be there and Juve are happy with him. It was purely a coincidence we had this meeting after those reports. I can assure you we did not talk about Chelsea.”
