Exclusive: Juve line up €35m Chelsea target if Bonucci leaves

Juventus may be losing Leonardo Bonucci, but will chase after Kostas Manolas if they do so, we can reveal.

Roma will let him go for an offer around 35 million, too, and likes the idea of moving to Turin, following in former team-mate Miralem Pjanic’s footsteps.

The Chelsea target and Roma player was very close to a move to Zenit Saint Petersburg recently, but the deal was called off at the last minute because of the Greek international’s salary demands.

Roma have denied that they will let their man go, as well as Radja Nainggolan, but Manolas’ deal expires in 2019, and the idea of losing him for nothing is a haunting one. Also pursued by Chelsea, Manolas is valued as one of the best defenders in Italy, as is valued by Juventus above others because he has Serie A experience.
 

Moreover, Roma are already planning the signing of Matija Nastasic to replace him.
