Paper Talk: Inter propose swap deals with Real Madrid & Arsenal; Chelsea back in for Italian international defender

La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester City will make a summer assault on Juventus for defender Leonardo Bonucci. The Italian international has been the subject of much transfer speculation since last summer when his former Juve boss Antonio Conte wanted to bring him to Chelsea and City coach Pep Guardiola went public and declared him one of the world’s best defenders.
 
Now the pink journal suggests that Real Madrid are to launch their move at the end of the season and that President Florentino Perez is prepared to table an offer in excess of €60 million to try to lure the 29-year-old to the Santiago Bernabeu next season.
