Fiorentina resumes talks with Juventus for Daniele Rugani transfer
Summary

Fiorentina is re-engaging with Juventus to negotiate the transfer of defender Daniele Rugani, sources report on July 5. Earlier discussions collapsed, but now talks are back on due to Fiorentina's defensive needs. Rugani previously spent part of last season on loan at Fiorentina. Juventus aims to reduce their wage bill, with Rugani's high salary contributing to their financial concerns. Both clubs are seeking a transfer agreement that would simplify the transaction compared to last year's failed deal.
