Football Manager 2017: 20 Essential Signings You Should Always Make

4. Daniele Rugani

Daniele Rugani FM 2017
SI Games

Age: 21

Club: Juventus

Position: D (C)

Approx. Cost: £27m

Though not quite as inept as Ajax in the negotiation room, Juventus are really, really stupid in FM 2017. Why? Because they're perfectly willing to let one of the world's most promising ball-playing defenders go for under £30m.

Daniele Rugani always ends-up at a Bayern Munich or Manchester United, and for good reason: he possesses an increasingly rare blend of intelligence and physicality. Branded the next Fabio Cannavaro in real-life, Rugani is slick and composed, but not afraid to get his hands (and shorts) dirty when required.
