Report: Bonucci prefers PSG to Man United

AC Milan centre-back Leonardo Bonucci will reportedly snub interest from Manchester United to take up an offer from Paris Saint-Germain.

The Italy international is believed to have been made available to purchase just a year after joining due to the Rossoneri's financial difficulties.

United were tipped to get a deal over the line earlier this week, but La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that PSG are now favourites to land the experienced defender's signature.

Bonucci's agent is said to have arrived in Paris to thrash out terms with the French champions, who have already recruited fellow Italian Gianluigi Buffon during the off-season.

Milan are hoping to recoup £35.7m for Bonucci, while at the same time wiping his £9m-a-year wages off their books.
