"Bonucci is one of my favourite players, and always has been".

As you can imagine, these big words from Bayern boss Pep Guardiola have triggered intense transfer speculation. The Gazzetta dello Sport is now reporting that the former Bari man is likely to be the object of important offers from both the Citizens (Pep's future club) and Chelsea, who are in line to grab either Antonio Conte or Max Allegri. 

Despite being on a deal which runs till 2020, the sums rumoured to be in discussion could be enough to sway both the Bianconeri and Leonardo himself. 

What's the situation with Barzagli? According to La Rosea, the former Palermo and Wolfsburg man is very close to renewing his deal, which should be made official in the coming hours. The 34-year-old is set to extend his deal till 2018, despite the interest of Napoli, Milan and Fiorentina.
