#2 Bonucci attracting interest from elsewhere in Europe

Jose Mourinho wants centre-backs at his club. This has been doing the rounds for so long that you could be forgiven for considering this as a fact. One of the defenders that he has targeted is Leonardo Bonucci.

However, it seems as though Real Madrid have dived in to make a move for the former Juventus defender as the club wants to give Sergio Ramos a strong partner in defence.

According to Don Balon, Florentino Perez has accelerated the deal to bring Bonucci to the Bernabeu as he is a part of the €300 million worth of signings that the construction magnate wants to make at the club.
