Rugani - Empoli v ChievoPremier League sides Arsenal and Manchester United are reportedly preparing bids to sign Juventus centre-back Daniele Rugani.

The young Italian has been largely linked with a move away from the Juventus Stadium in recent weeks, with at least three Serie A teams also interested in his acquiring his signature.

According to Tuttosport, both Arsenal and United could make their respective moves in the January transfer window, where as Sampdoria and Genoa have already contacted the Bianconeri about a possible loan move.

However, possibly the biggest obstacle for all interested clubs will be the threat of Napoli. Coach Maurizio Sarri has previously worked the 21-year-old during his time at Empoli, and this close connection could increase the Partenopei’s chances of signing the player.

The defender has struggled to break into the Old Lady’s starting XI this season and his agent has already hinted that the player is keen on making a January departure.
