From England there are many voices on Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci. Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea all consider the Italian international as a perfect addition to their respective squads. But there is bad news for all of them because the player himself wants to stay in Turin.
 

New Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola started making advances for the 29-year-old immediately after he was installed as the new boss at the club in April and after his Bayern Munich team met the bianconeri in the Champions League last 16. But, as Tuttosport explains this morning, Bonucci wants to win the Champions League but he wants to do it with the club he has been with since childhood. His performances in the summer at Euro 2016 confirmed him as one of the world’s best central defenders, his future now seems to be with his boyhood club.  

Bonucci currently earns €3.5 million per season and the bianconeri are now willing to sit down and negotiate a new deal worth €4.5 million plus bonus.
