It was reported earlier in the campaign that Chelsea are very much interested in bringing Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci to Stamford Bridge.

Conte has informed Chelsea owner Abramovich that he wants Leonardo Bonucci and Paul Pogba.

Conte is a huge fan of the Italian and it seems that the Italian manager is very keen on bringing the defender to the club. However, with Juventus tracking the developments pertinent to Oscar, it has been reported that the Blues are ready to offer Oscar to the Italian club in exchange for Bonucci.

The Italian has been a key member of Allegri's squad and played an important role in the retaining of the Serie A this season. On the other hand, the progress of Oscar with Chelsea has hindered to a great extent. The Brazilian International has been poor this season and Conte believes the sale of Oscar would not affect the team.

However, the arrival of Bonucci would certainly prove to be a telling blow to club legend John Terry's future at the club. Terry has not been offered a new contract and Chelsea is currently waiting for the approval of Conte for the same.

The arrival of Bonucci would certainly mean that there would be no more future for Terry at his childhood club.

It seems Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci is very much in demand and is being tracked by both Manchester City and Chelsea.

Manchester City and Chelsea reportedly set to battle for €35m defender Leonardo Bonucci

Current Italy manager Antonio Conte, who is heavily tipped to be the next Chelsea manger, is a huge fan of Bonucci and has got the permission of bringing the defender to Stamford Bridge. However, Chelsea won’t have it easy since Pep Guardiola, who would be taking over the reigns at City next season, highly regards the 28 year old Juventus defender.

Guardiola is expected to start work at City on July 1 and is expected to make the move for Bonucci as early as possible. On the other hand, Conte may still be on duty with Italy at the Euros and there is a good chance that Bonucci may be snapped up by City by the time Conte joins Chelsea.

Both Chelsea and City have faced defensive issues this season and are looking for a reliable defender next season. Chelsea would be looking to replace the departing Terry and City are on the lookout for a reliable partner to Kompany.

Either ways, it seems Bonucci may very well be the first summer signing of one of these managers.
