Report: Daniele Rugani to extend Juventus contract

Juventus defender Daniele Rugani is reportedly on the verge of signing a contract extension with the Italian champions.

The 21-year-old joined the Old Lady on a permanent basis earlier this summer, following two years at Empoli.

According to Alfredo Pedulla, Rugani's current deal with the Bianconeri is due to run until 2019, but he has been offered a new contract with improved terms until 2020.

Rugani, who has represented Italy at Under-21 level, was an ever-present for Empoli in Serie A last season.
