JUVENTUS have rejected a £25.5million bid from Everton for Daniele Rugani.
According to Calciomercato.com, the Serie A champions turned down the offer as they are unwilling to sell the defender this summer.
The Toffees’ Premier League rivals Arsenal and Italian giants Napoli have also been told Rugani, 21, is not for sale.
Rugani joined Juve last summer after impressing at the heart of the defence for boyhood club Empoli.
The 6ft 2″ centre back made 17 appearances in Serie A for Juve last year.
