According to reports from The Sun, Chelsea have agreed a three-year contract with Manchester Unitedtransfer target Leonadro Bonucci – although Juventus are yet to sanction his departure.
The 29-year-old is a member of the Old Lady’s iconic three-man defence that have won five consecutive Serie A titles, including three under now-Chelsea boss Antonio Conte.
He’s currently excelling for Italy at Euro 2016, who are yet to concede a goal with the rugged centre-half at the heart of their backline.
According to The Sun, Conte is desperate to bring the 59-cap international to west London and the Blues have already agreed a three-year contract that will see him take home around £130k per-week.
They’re now hoping a £32million transfer bid will convince Juventus to sell their six-season servant whilst simultaneously seeing off interest from fellow admirers Manchester United.
Indeed, The Daily Star reported on Sunday that Bonucci had emerged as a key transfer target for the Red Devils and The Sun document their interest once again.
However, as things stand, it appears Mourinho is being overshadowed by his former employers in the race for the 6 foot 3 defender’s signature.
