Juventus have already rejected the advances from Manchester City for Leonardo Bonucci this summer and might have to fend off another club with immense spending power. As per Spanish outlet AS, Real Madrid have the Italian center-back high on their transfer shortlist should Pepe decide not to renew his contract.
Following an outstanding performance at the 2016 European Championships, Bonucci‘s value has skyrocketed and it is not secret that he is an extremely vital piece to Juventus’ backline. If the Spanish giants cannot convince the Bianconeri to part ways with him, they have another four names lined up as other potential targets: Atletico Madrid’ s Jose Gimenez, PSG’s Marquinhos, Bayern’s Jerome Boateng and Athletic Bilbao’s Aymeric Laporte.
