Lazio have renewed their interest in Juventus defender Daniele Rugani after initial discussions in January. The Serie A club is seeking additional defensive options this summer, having recently signed Alfonso Pedraza and Danilho Doekhi. With Rugani considered surplus at Juventus, the defender's potential move may depend on the fate of Alessio Romagnoli, who had an earlier failed transfer to Lazio. Rugani has been on Juventus' roster since 2013, collecting multiple domestic titles but struggling to secure a consistent starting role.
