With Antonio Conte set to become the new manager of Chelsea, plenty of reports linking him with moves for his former players have been written, but one of those reported targets, Leonardo Bonucci, has distanced himself from such stories.
The Italian international defender is one of those who has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this summer, but speaking at a press conference whilst on international duty, he said that he was happy with life at Juventus and he has no plans to follow Conte to London.
As reported by The Mail, he said:
The most I’ve followed [Conte] to is to get a coffee! I don’t know what the boss will do, but I’ve signed a renewal with Juventus and they are all I am thinking about.
Chelsea look to be in the market for a new centre-half as club captain John Terry has not been offered a new contract and is expected to leave in the summer.
Bonucci is a highly experienced defender, he has over 50 caps for Italy, and he would be an ideal replacement for the skipper but it looks like he’s intent on staying in his homeland.
