Premier League club Arsenal are interested in signing Juventus defender Daniele Rugani this summer after having two bids for him rejected last season.
Although Transfer Market Web claim that the chances of a possible transfer are low, Arsenal are still hopeful that something could be agreed with the Serie A champions and will make a fresh offer for the centre-back.
The Turin club have made it clear that they are not willing to sell the 23-year-old Italian this summer after already losing Leonardo Bonucci to rivals AC Milan.
Rugani is highly rated by Juventus and may be ready to make the step up into the team to replace Leonardo Bonucci.
Arsenal attempted to sign the defender twice last season but two bids were rejected and it seems that Arsene Wenger is a huge admirer of the defender.
With Per Mertesacker set to retire at the end of the season, Wenger is looking for a long-term replacement at centre-back.
Wenger seems to now prefer a three man defence with two wing-backs, which is a system that Rugani is familiar with due to his time at Juventus.
However, it seems that a deal for Rugani will not happen this summer but the Gunners are keeping an eye on his situation.
