Juventus are prepared to part ways with Daniele Rugani, who has been at the club since 2013 but has made fewer than 150 league appearances, having largely served as a squad player.
When Rugani first joined, he was regarded as one of Europe’s most promising defenders and contributed to Juventus’ success during their run of nine consecutive league titles. However, his importance to the team has declined considerably since 2020.
The defender has subsequently spent time on loan at several clubs, including Fiorentina last season, as he struggled to establish himself in Turin. Despite these temporary moves, Juventus have been unable to find a permanent solution to his situation.
Juventus prepare to move on from Rugani
---------------------------------------
During the summer transfer window, no club pursued a loan or permanent deal for Rugani seriously enough to secure his departure. Consequently, he remains part of the Juventus squad, although his opportunities under Luciano Spalletti appear limited.
Unless the team encounters significant injury problems or another emergency, Rugani is unlikely to feature regularly. Juventus are therefore reconsidering his future as they seek to streamline their squad and retain players who can contribute meaningfully to the manager’s plans.
The club’s decision reflects the defender’s reduced role in recent seasons. Although his experience could still prove useful elsewhere, Juventus appear ready to bring his long association with the team to an end.

Bianconeri seek a new destination for defender
----------------------------------------------
According to [Tuttomercatoweb](https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/juventus/?action=read&idnet=dHV0dG9qdXZlLmNvbS03OTU5NDY), Juventus believe the time has come to end their relationship with Rugani and intend to find him a new club, either during the next transfer window or in the summer.
The report indicates that the Bianconeri no longer consider retaining the defender a priority. Finding a suitable destination would allow the club to make better use of its available squad places and focus on players who fit Spalletti’s requirements.
Rugani’s lengthy association with Juventus makes the situation a notable change, particularly given the promise he showed earlier in his career. However, his limited involvement in recent years suggests that a fresh start could offer him an opportunity to secure more regular playing time.
For Juventus, the priority is to build a squad that better supports the manager’s ambitions. Rugani’s departure would form part of that process if the club succeeds in finding a suitable solution.
