According to Daily Star, Manchester City and Chelsea want to sign Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci, 29, in January. The problem both clubs face is that the Italian giants are in no rush to cash the £50m cheque being shoved under their noses for a player who has developed into one of the world’s finest centre-halves. Bonucci, 29, said: “I’ve signed a new contract with Juventus and I’m only thinking about them.” But Bonucci recently revealed he had offers from the Premier League and was tempted by the prospect of playing in England with a particular coach he chose not to name.
Guardiola has constantly described Bonucci as one of his favourite players and will spend the next three months considering his options. Conte is already under pressure to shore up a leaky and ageing Stamford Bridge defence despite the return of David Luiz.
