With the Italian defender Leonardo Bonucci hitting the headlines after his bust-up with manager Massimiliano Allegri, the rumour mill is running wild again linking the Juventus centre-back with a move to the Premier League.
The Italian defender was the subject of intense transfer speculation last summer and even Bonucci himself confessed to being under great pressure to leave the Old lady.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola expressed great interest in the reliable Juventus man, whereas his former boss Antonio Conte and Portuguese tactician Jose Mourinho both wanted him at their respective clubs as well.
And according to the reports from Independent, the Premier league giants are all set to return for Leonardo Bonucci during the summer transfer window as they hope to take advantage over the fallout with head coach Allegri.
Juventus are unlikely to allow one of their key players leave that easily and it is now reported that Allegri and Bonucci have already resolved the issue with the player apologising for his emotional outburst.
