Barcelona are in the lead for Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci despite links to the English Premier League, say reports.
According to Tuttosport, the Catalans are favourites to sign the 30-year-old who would be available for a transfer fee of around €70m.
The Turin-based media outlet gave prominence to the story over the weekend and say that unlikely bumper offers from Chelsea and Manchester City, Bonucci could be persuaded by a move to the Camp Nou.
The Bianconeri and Italy stalwart is widely regarded as one of the world’s finest defenders and while Juve would not be willing to negotiate a fee, should he request a move the situation could change.
