Chelsea prepare sensational £100m double swoop

|

Chelsea are preparing a sensational £100million bid for Juventus duo Leonardo Bonucci and Alex Sandro, according to a Sun report.

The newspaper claims Blues manager Antonio Conte believes Bonucci, 30, could fill the gap left by John Terry and that he is available for around £45million.

The report also states Kurt Zouma will make a season-long loan move to Turin, if Bonucci does join the Stamford Bridge club.

It is said Juventus have also received a new £55million offer from Chelsea for Sandro.

The Sun claim the Blues are ready to offer the 26-year-old left-back £160,000-a-week to entice him into putting in a transfer request, which is the only way he would be allowed to leave.

This comes after Tuttosport reported earlier this month that Chelsea had a £52million bid for Sandro turned down.

Meanwhile, a Sun report claimed the Blues had made an offer for Bonucci, which would see Nemanja Matic make a switch to Juve.

Conte is looking to bolster his squad this summer, as he looks to retain the Premier League title next term.

Bonucci was a mainstay in the heart of Juve’s defence last term, making 45 appearances across all competitions, contributing to 25 clean sheets.

The no-nonsense centre-back arrived in Turin back in 2010 in a £13million switch from Bari, and he has since played 319 league and cup games for the club.

Sandro was also a key player for Juventus last season, and he made 43 appearances in all competitions, which yielded seven assists and three goals.

The Brazilian left-back joined the Serie A giants from Porto in the summer of 2015 for £22million, and since then he has played 75 league and cup games.
