Man City commit €100 MILLION to Bonucci deal

Manchester City are committing a clean €100 MILLION to land Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci.

The Italy international is also a target for Chelsea, but they refuse to compete with City for the stopper.

Gazzetta dello Sport says City will pay €60 million to Juve for Bonucci, ahead of making him a contract offer of €40 million - €8 million-a-year for five years.

City boss Pep Guardiola sees Bonucci as a stand in for Vincent Kompany.

The fitness of City's captain is a major concern for Guardiola, who has decided to move for Bonucci as an alternative.
