The 30-year-old defender won seven caps for Italy between 2016 and 2018 but has fallen down the pecking order at Juventus and was not a regular starter.

He made just 17 a෴ppearances in Serie A last season, helping to keep four clean sheets. He won 39 of his 81 duels and won posses✱sion 44 times. 

"His arrival means a bওoost in experience for our relatively young defence,"💟 technical director Alex Kroes said. "This way the team will be better balanced."

Rugani is the second new recruit for Ajax following Bertran🍷d Traore's move from Villarreal.

Ajax endured one of their worst sea💟sons last time out, sitting bottom of the standings before rallying to finish fifth, though they conceded 61 goals in the Eredivisie.&🌸nbsp;

Their new head coach Francesco Farioli saw his side lose at promoted🌊 NAC Breda on Sunday after edging past Panathinaikos of Greece on penalties in the Europa League third qualifying round.
