ARSENAL and Leicester have been given a transfer boost with Juventus reportedly ready to sell Daniele Rugani for just £26million.
Calcio Mercato claims Maurizio Sarri will let the centre-back leave this month after handing him just ONE Serie A appearance this season.

Rugani, 25, hasn’t even been put in rotation by his former Empoli boss, playing a grand total of three games in all competitions.
Despite Giorgio Chiellini’s season-ending injury earlier in the campaign, Rugani has found himself firmly behind Leonardo Bonucci, Matthijs de Ligt and Merih Demiral in Sarri’s pecking order.
Arsenal are believed to be extremely interested in securing the Italian’s services.
And Leicester are also said to be keeping close tabs as they look for another centre-back to help them finish in the top four.
It was reckoned Arsenal had switched their attention to Bayern Munich’s injury-prone veteran Jerome Boateng.
And Leicester were believed to have failed with a £25.5m bid for Rugani’s teammate Demiral.
But both clubs could now be set to battle it out for Rugani after Juve apparently made it clear he was free to leave before the end of the winter transfer window.
