Fiorentina are in the market for Daniele Rugani, according to reports TuttosportThe Juventus defender is the dream signing of Ajax coach Francesco Farioli, but it remains to be seen whether a transfer will actually materialise.

Fiorentina previously did business with Juventus earlier this summer by signing Moise Kean and if it were up to the violet In addition to Rugani, Weston McKennie will also be added.

McKennie is allowed to leave after the arrival of Douglas Luiz and Khéphren Thuram. Juventus also wants to strengthen itself with Teun Koopmeiners. The Old Lady would like to see around ten million euros for McKennie.

A price tag for Rugani, who is still under contract until mid-2026, is not mentioned. Rugani was also explicitly linked to Bologna at an earlier stage. That club made Mats Hummels a concrete offer. The German has asked for time to think about it. The arrival of Hummels is probably separate from the possible arrival of Rugani to Bologna.

Ajax has already had talks with both Juventus and Rugani. The 29-year-old man-marker is the intended replacement for Josip Sutalo. However, the Croat would like to stay at Ajax and has rejected several offers from foreign clubs.

Ajax is therefore still in the waiting room. Ajax does not seem to be able to afford to make any more serious moves for Rugani before Sutalo has left the Johan Cruijff ArenA. Technical director Alex Kroes confirmed on Thursday that Ajax must sell before it can buy.

Fiorentina also strengthened itself this summer with Marin Pongracic from Lecce. In addition, the team of coach Raffaele Palladino also brought in Andrea Colpani. He came on loan from AC Monza.
