Daniele Rugani is set to join Ajax after finalizing his departure from Juventus. The defender will leave Turin for Amsterdam within the next few hours and is scheduled to undergo medical examinations tomorrow. Following this, he will quickly join the training squad led by coach Farioli, who played a crucial role in making this transfer happen.
Just a couple of months ago, Rugani renewed his contract with Juventus, extending it until 2026 with an option for an additional year. However, coach Thiago Motta deemed him unsuitable for his tactical plans. After turning down a lucrative offer from a club in the Emirates, Rugani is now heading to Ajax on a dry loan, with the Dutch club covering his entire salary for the season.
This move also resolves a situation concerning players who spent the pre-season training separately from the first team, working out at different times. Rugani’s transfer to Ajax marks a new chapter in his career as he seeks regular playing time in the Eredivisie.
