Chelsea put on alert after 29-year-old powerhouse was involved in a burst-up

For some time now Chelsea and Man City are eager to sign Bonucci who they see as a defensive powerhouse to bolster their defence.

The defensive minded player ended the speculation by signing a five-year contract with Juventus last year December.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Pep Guardiola and Antonio Conte are ready to sign the defender after an alleged burst-up with his manager Massimiliano Allegri over the weekend.

In the report posted online by Gazzetta dello, Leonardo Bonucci appeared argueing with Allegri during the 4-1 victory over Palermo.

He has also been dropped for today’s Champions League clash with porto schedule to be played by 7:45pm

Chelsea and Manchester City have seen an opportunity to sign the defender after the burst-up, casting doubt over his future at the club.

In the January transfer, the Blues lined up a bid for Bonucci, Chelsea’s recent form and their position in the Premier League table could convince him to join Chelsea and also link him up with his former boss Antonio Conte.

But last year, he admitted he was keen to working with Guardiola and the burst-up could now tempt him to fulfill that promise.

The Italian International is valued around £60million and his contract at Juventus will expire by June 2021.
