Leonardo Bonucci would be a 'brilliant signing' for Chelsea, Michael Ballack has told talkSPORT.
Blues boss Antonio Conte is set to be given major funds to overhaul his squad and turn the club back into Premier League title and Champions League contenders.
According to reports, 29-year-old Bonucci is Conte's top target and Roman Abramovich is ready to sanction a £50million-plus move for the Juventus defender in January.
"If it is possible to sign such a great player with good experience, it would be brilliant for Chelsea," said Ballack, a Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup winner during a four-year spell at Chelsea.
