Leonardo Bonucci has been linked with Real Madrid in the last days after the quarrel the defender had with Massimiliano Allegri. The Juventus coach even removed him from the line-ups after their problems, but now it seemed that the relationship with the manager is back in track.

“Leonardo Bonucci is an important player. He apologized and this issue is over”, Allegri said this week after the problem with the defender.Bonucci played again against Empoli to help the team winning the Tuscany club but he missed the game in Porto in the Champions League.

The 29 years-old international has been targeted by the Premier League teams Manchester City and Chelsea. His former coach, Antonio Conte, would like to have him on board his project with the blues and Bonucci is perfect for the defence with the three players, Chelsea’ new formation. Pep Guardiola also has problems with the defenders, with John Stones showing poor performances despite the high transfer fee paid to Everton in the summer.

Real Madrid have also joined these clubs in the interest of Leonardo Bonucci, according to the site fichajes.com. Pepe’s departure at the end of the season would leave a spot in squad. Besides, Varane played really poorly against Valencia and adding some good competitors to the squad might be positive for the team.

Bonucci has won everything with Juventus. He’s part of the other BBC –Barzagli, Bonucci and Chiellini-. He arrived to Juventus in 2010, so he’s been a key part of the squad in the five straight Scudetti for Vecchia Signora. He also won two before with Inter Milán but Bonucci has still to win a major European trophy. Perhaps we could accomplish his dream if he joins Real Madrid. However, it would be a very expensive signing because, according the Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus would ask for €60M to release the defender.
