Chelsea face competition from Real and City for Bonucci as Chiellini 'predicts' teammate’s future

“I am sure Leonardo [Bonucci] wont’ be leaving Juventus”, that’s what Giorgio Chiellini has told Rai Sport on the eve of Italy’s World Cup qualifiers against Liechtenstein.

“Juventus can’t do without a player and a man like Leo, I am sure he will be part of our squad next season”, he added.

Transfer reports from all around Europe, however, claim Bonucci is one of the most wanted defenders in the Old Continent, not to mention that the 30-year-old posted a controversial social media post last week, after Juventus’ Champions League final loss against Real Madrid.

According to our sources, Chesea boss Antonio Conte is ready to table a €70m bid for the experienced centre-half who is regarded as one of the best defenders in the world at the moment.

​Chelsea, however, are not the only club interested in welcoming the services of the Italy star who is also reported to be chased by Manchester City and Real Madrid.
However, according to IlBiancoNero.com, the Serie A giants won’t listen to any offer for the 30-year-old unless he tells the bianconeri that he wants to leave in the summer.
