Everton have had a €30 million (£25.6 million) bid for Italian defender Daniele Rugani rejected, according to Calcio Mercato.
According to the site, Juventus don’t want to lose the defender who is seen as a prospect in Italy. They have rejected the bid, which could’ve rose even higher in potential add-ons. They also rejected any potential deal, as they don’t want to sell the player for any fee.
They have shown this resilience to sell in the past, rejecting similar bids from Napoli and Arsenal in this window and also the last summer window.
The 21-year-old made over 20 appearances for Juventus last season as the ‘Old Lady’ regained their Serie A title for the fifth season in a row. He has also made 15 appearances for the Italian U21 side, with the defender also being one of three reserve players named by Antonio Conte for Euro 2016.
With John Stones looking likely to leave Everton this summer, the Blues have also been linked with Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly.
