Manchester United are preparing a £30m bid for AC Milan defender Leonardo Bonucci as they believe Milan will accept the relatively low offer due to their poor financial situation. 31-year-old Bonucci is a very experienced defender who has proven himself to be world class over his long career. Bonucci joined Juventus in 2010 from fellow Italian side Bari for a fee in the region of £13.95 million. He went on to play 319 games for Juventus, 21 and assisting eight in that time. However, the defender would move to AC Milan last summer for around £37.8 million. But now Milan are in financial trouble, and he is likely to move on this summer.
After Manchester City comfortably won the Premier League this past season, it was clear Manchester United needed to invest if they want to truly challenge for the title in the upcoming season. United have certainly been trying to do so as they have been linked with numerous players already this transfer window. The Red Devils have signed Porto right-back Diogo Dalot. As well as Shakhtar Donetsk’s Fred for around £50 million.
