Real Madrid Keen to Bolster Defensive Ranks With Leonardo Bonucci Top of the Wishlist

According to reports (via fichajes.com), Real Madrid are set to reignite their long-standing interest in AC Milan centre-back Leonardo Bonucci this summer.

Despite the 30-year-old only just signing for AC Milan from fellow Italian giants Juventus in July, this has not put Real off of making a move for the Italian international, with Madrid president Florentino Perez eager to acquire reinforcements for his team’s back-line.

It is little surprise that Madrid are looking to bolster their defensive ranks, having conceded 30 league goals so far this campaign, more than double of the amount of goals conceded by rivals Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, who have shipped 13 and 12 league goals respectively.
