Antonio Conte is eager to bring Leonardo Bonucci to Chelsea this summer.

According to The Telegraph, the Italy manager wants to lure the Azzurri defender to Stamford Bridge when he takes the reins in London.

Conte, who coached Bonucci at Juve, is heavily favoured to replace interim boss Guus Hiddink and is already looking at players he wants to revitalise the squad he will inherit from Jose Mourinho.

Club captain John Terry is set to depart at season's end and it is believed that Conte sees 28-year-old Bonucci as the perfect replacement.

However, signing him from the Italian champions may prove difficult as Bonucci signed a five-year deal in the summer and is seen as a key part of Max Allegri's setup in Turin.
