Chelsea manager Antonio Conte claimed in a press conference that all the transfer talks doing the rounds have no credibility whatsoever and he has urged his players not to play too much attention to them. But deep down inside he also knows that he might very well lose a couple of players before the January window comes to a close. And one such player is centre-back – David Luiz.
Luiz currently is sidelined with a knee injury but numerous reports have claimed that he has had a major fallout with Antonio Conte and will move out of Stamford Bridge at the start of the new year. A couple of clubs are said to be interested in signing up Luiz which include the likes of Newcastle, Man United and Arsenal. And it seems as if the Chelsea manager is already looking for a replacement.
According to a report in Tuttosport, Antonio Conte has made contact with AC Milan centre-back Leonardo Bonucci. The 30-year-old made a shock move to AC Milan this summer ending a seven-year association with Juventus but it seems that he is not happy with life at Milan.
Milan have had a terrible first half of the season and are currently 8th on the league table with just 24 points. And this has not gone down well with Bonucci – which is why he wants to move out of the club.
Bonucci was supposed to be on his way to the Premier League during the summer when Manchester City got pretty close to signing him up before he eventually moved to Milan. But now it seems that the 30-year-old will hopefully end up in England – reuniting with his old Juventus manager.
