Juventus star Bonucci becomes Van Dijk alternative for Chelsea

The Bianconeri defender has become willing to entertain the idea of a move to the Premier League to reunite with Antonio Conte

EXCLUSIVE

Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci is open to discussing a move to Chelsea after rejecting Manchester City's approaches last summer, Goal understands.

City had a £38 million bid for Bonucci turned down last year but Juve and the 30-year-old are no longer as resistant to offers.

Bonucci has softened his stance after the Bianconeri's 4-1 defeat in the Champions League final against Real Madrid.

Chelsea have been focused on signing Southampton's Virgil van Dijk, but they may switch attentions to Bonucci if they miss out.
