Between Juventus and Fiorentina, the future of Daniele Rugani is hanging in the balance ahead of the summer transfer window.
The 31-year-old is one of the Bianconeriās oldest servants, having been on the clubās books since 2013, and joining the squad in 2015.
However, the defender has never been considered a regular starter in Turin, so his time at Continassa has been interrupted by several loan spells, particularly at Stade Rennais, Cagliari, Ajax, and currently Fiorentina.
In February, Rugani sealed a deadline-day move to Fiorentina, joining Paolo Vanoliās ranks on loan with an option to buy for ā¬2 million, in addition to an obligation to buy.
TuttoJuve reveals that the obligation clause hinges on the accomplishment of two conditions: The Violaās survival, and making at least five appearances lasting 45 minutes or more.

At this stage, the Lucca native is still considered a backup choice for Vanoli, behind Luca Ranieri, Marin Pongracic, and Pietro Comuzzo.
With only five rounds remaining before the end of the season, most observers believe Rugani is unlikely to make another three starting appearances, especially following Fiorentinaās Conference League elimination.
