RENNES, Rugani's agent: "They had been after him for a long time"

Asked about 26-year old Italian centre-back Daniele Rugani's recent move to Stade Rennais, his agent, Davide Torchia, told TuttoJuve.com: "Rennes had been keen on him for a long time, we only had to make further arrangements on the transfer terms. We wanted Daniele to gain a valuable experience, and, at the same time, not to untie the knot with Juventus. Besides, Stade are now a top team, properly hosted and organized, and they are going to play Champions League. What's more, our terms with Juventus are really good: but we knew they had a whole bunch of skilled backline players, and we feared Daniele could have had some troubles with his game time again".
