The "expected to move" XI ahead of the 2018/19 season

Centre-back: Leonardo Bonucci

The Italian had joined AC Milan ahead of the 2017/18 season

After a successful spell with Juventus, Bonucci secured a shocking move to AC Milan in 2017 even though some big clubs were looking for the defender.

The Italian regretted the decision within a few months after the club's terrible run of form. Bonucci is clearly among the top three centre-backs in the game at present.

In 2017/18, the defender has an average duel winning rate of 48% and took six defensive actions per game, domestically.

The 30-year-old is eyeing an exit from San Siro in the upcoming transfer window. The defender would certainly find takers given his abilities.

Chelsea and Real Madrid have already been reported plotting a move for the player in the summer.

Left-Back: Alex Sandro (Juventus)

The left-back is on the wishlist of many teams

Alex Sandro, the Juventus left-back was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2017. However, the deal could not get any breakthrough then.

Chelsea boss, Antonio Conte is understood to be a long admirer of the Brazilian full-back. The 27-year-old is a sublime dribbler and crosser of the ball. Defensively, the player is equally effective as his tackling and positioning make him the man to beat.

The defender has a passing accuracy of 86% and has created 20 goal scoring chances for the team in 17 league appearances this season.

Sandro is a highly rated player in Serie A and considered to be the ideal player to have in the team. Juventus have slapped a price-tag of close to £52 million on the player.

Manchester United and Chelsea are understood to be interested in the player ahead of the summer.
