„Juventus“ defender Daniele Rugani stated that he sees his future only at the club, which is bad news for the „Arsenal“ team, who were hoping to try to sign this player in January.
The former „Empoli“ player made his first appearance in the starting eleven in a 4-0 win against „Torino“ in the Italian Cup matches, and after the match admitted that he is focusing only on the „Juventus“ team.
„This season I wanted to get as much playing time as possible. Step by step become the player the coach can trust when I am needed. It's not just my wishes - it's my goal.“
„Euro 2016? That would be the biggest dream. But it will be difficult to achieve it because in order to make it to the national team, you have to play matches. At the moment all my focus is only on the „Juventus“ team. I am young, I have many years ahead of me, so I hope that good performance here will eventually help me get into the national team.“, Rugani said after the match.
The fact that Rugani almost did not get a chance to prove himself in the ranks of the Italian champions this season sparked rumors that the player may want to leave the team in January. According to Tottosport, he was one of the most desired players by Arsene Wenger during this January transfer window.
The 21-year-old defender, who played on loan for „Empoli“ team last season, was one of the best defenders in the „Serie A“ championship. After such a season, he was talked about as one of the most talented European defenders. Last season, he played all 38 matches in the Italian championship without receiving a single card.
