Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is ready to try again for AC Milan captain Leonardo Bonucci.

Perez made an attempt for Bonucci last year before he chose to quit Juventus for Milan over the summer.

Don Balon says Perez has recognised Sergio Ramos needs a quality defensive partner and has discussed a move for Bonucci with his captain.

Ramos approves and Perez is ready to move for Bonucci knowing Milan need to sell this summer over financial concerns.

However, should Bonucci be made available, Real won't get a free run at his signature, with Chelsea also long-term suitors for the experienced centre-half.
