Chelsea have agreed a £35million deal for Juventus defender Daniele Rugani, according to reports.
The Blues have been chasing the Italy international all summer and they have been in talks to sign him for the last couple of weeks.
Rugani is a target for incoming Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri
Chelsea initially failed with an offer worth around £30m but, according to Premium Sport, a fee has finally been agreed with Juve.
Rugani is set to move to Stamford Bridge for £35m and sign a long-term contract worth over £70,000-a-week.
Chelsea's decision to push through a deal for the 23-year-old centre-back reportedly came from incoming boss Maurizio Sarri.
Sarri is expected to take charge of Chelsea in the coming days
The Italian is set to takeover at Stamford Bridge this summer after being replaced by Carlo Ancelotti at Napoli.
Antonio Conte is currently still in charge at Chelsea, but the club are seemingly preparing for life under Sarri by wrapping up a deal for Rugani.
