Might be one to watch out for if Stones proves difficult. I didn't see this one happening at all and wouldn't have started the thread but apparently the MEN have stated there is a €60m price on him and I've heard him being referred to by Pep as 'his favorite player'.

Talk about comfortable on the ball!!! I'd prefer him over Stones but whatever. He's 29 so that's not too bad. I'd be happy to fork over 50£ for him.
 
Very very difficult to land him. He's the main man for Juve and their fans love him .It would be immense if we somehow manage to lure him away. He, Chiellini, Ramos and Godin have consistently been the best CB's for last 5-6 years.
 
Bonucci relies on his brain more than his athleticism. Usually I'm against signing anyone over the age of 25 but Bonucci would be the exception for that if we're talking about this kind of money. Sign him up if we can. We won't though.

Totally agree. Possibly the only way I see this happening is a late window, way over-valued, 'panic buy'. Not even sure he would fancy coming anyways. He's an amazing player and minor links / that Pep comment about him is the only reason I started the thread.
 
This guy would be simply outstanding , a modern day Dave Watson.

But I simply can't see Juve letting him go and Italians arnt always at their best in England.
 
I doubt Juventus would entertain the idea of selling him, but even if they did I imagine Chelsea would be all over it.
 
Yeah. Why not. 60 million for a 29 year old CB. I'd be happy for Pep to let the FIFA 17 being played on here while he manages to prove his reputation as best manager in the world and actually improves our CB that are already here.
 
Bonucci won't be leaving Juve, he seems extremely attached to the club and has repeatedly said that he wants to stay there until he retires. Fantastic player though, arguably the best defender in the world at the moment.

DiMarzio reporting it as well. If they have rejected €45m, there is zero chance they sell.

We were after Laporte AND Stones, so Bonucci probably was considered as Laporte alternative?
