Exclusive: Conte's Chelsea insist for Bonucci as they are set to submit Juve an offer, he isn't untouchable anymore...

21 giu 2017

Leonardo Bonucci's name has been in the media a lot of late. It seems like if he had a heated argument (with Dybala) during the half-time interval of the UCL final. Add this to the bust-up he had during the year with Allegri and one can suspect that he is not very happy. Many clubs have interest in him as Juventus will now have to make a decision. Last summer, they turned down many offers for him as they viewed him as being untouchable but will they do the same this summer?

CHELSEA'S STRONG INTEREST - Juve's position on Bonucci is the following: He is a superstar who is not for sale but isn't untouchable anymore. Real Madrid had interest in him in the past but the two teams who are ready to battle it out for him are Manchester City and Chelsea. Antonio Conte is set to renew his deal with the blues and he has Bonucci as well as Alex Sandro very high on his wish-list. In the coming hours, it is expected that Chelsea will make an attempt for him sources tell Calciomercato.com. They are ready to offer him a 5 year contract worth 7 million euros per season as they are also willing to offer Juventus 55 million euros plus bonuses for Bonucci. Juve will likely evaluate it with attention as Bonucci's future seems to be inching closer to the EPL...
