Chelsea’s defensive failures recently (they’ve let in two goals or more in their past four games) have caused a flurry of articles in the British media about the need for defensive reinforcements despite the arrival of David Luiz in the summer.
A bunch of defenders in Serie A were also linked with a move to Stamford Bridge with no move materialising, including Leonardo Bonucci who currently plays for Juventus.
The Italian defender has now reemerged in the British press as the front runner in Antonio Conte’s plans, but Calciomercato in Italy believe this to be a futile pursuit.
The website address the recent links and say that ‘however, Bonucci will not leave Turin in the next few transfer windows.’
Furthermore, they say Juventus have rejected all substantial offers that have come their way regarding the possible sale of the player.
The centre-back is one of Max Allegri’s integral pieces for Juventus’ defence, and it certainly doesn’t look like he’s willing to part with him anytime soon.
