Chelsea to launch £100m raid to sign two defenders from top European club – report
Chelsea are prepared to offer £100m in a double swoop to sign Leonardo Bonucci and Alex Sandro from Juventus this summer, according to reports
Chelsea will launch a £100m double swoop to sign Juventus duo Leonardo Bonucci and Alex Sandro this summer, according to reports in the British media.
The Sun is reporting that the Premier League champions are ready to test Juventus’ resolve with a substantial package deal to sign Bonucci and Sandro.
According to the story in the English media outlet, Antonio Conte is willing to spend £45m on Italy international Bonucci to bolster his centre-half options ahead of the 2017-18 season.
Chelsea are thought to be ready to increase their offer for Brazilian left-back Sandro to £55m after the Serie A champions rejected the English side’s £52m bid earlier this week.
Conte is still waiting to secure his first signing of the summer transfer window in what has been a frustrating spell for the Blues coach after a successful first season in the Premier League.
The former Juventus boss led Chelsea to the Premier League title with two games to spare before the west London side lost 2-1 to bitter rivals Arsenal in the FA Cup final at Wembley.
