Real Madrid are joining the battle for wantaway Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci.

The Italy international is the subject of talks between Juve and AC Milan this week, with his agent Alessandro Lucci refusing to deny the developments.

Bonucci's availability has alerted Real president Florentino Perez, who is jumping into the race.

Real are willing to offer €30m cash plus defender Nacho in exchange for Bonucci.

Including Nacho in the deal would suit both Real and the young defender. Bonucci's arrival would not only threaten Nacho's status at Real, but also his World Cup hopes next summer.
