Report: Barcelona consider Leonardo Bonucci move

Barcelona are reportedly considering a big-money move for Juventus centre-back Leonardo Bonucci.

Chelsea have long been credited with an interest in the Italy international, but it is understood that the Blues have switched their attention to Roma's Antonio Rudiger after becoming frustrated in their pursuit of Bonucci.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona believe that they can turn Bonucci's head in this summer's transfer window, and the Spanish club's new head coach Ernesto Valverde is weighing up a move.

The 30-year-old joined Juventus from Bari in the summer of 2020, and the centre-back has made more than 300 appearances for the Italian giants, landing six Serie A and three Coppa Italia crowns in the process.

Last season, Bonucci scored three times in 29 Serie A appearances for the Italian champions.
