Real Madrid Plot Sensational Move For Juventus Defender

Real Madrid are set to launch an audacious bid this summer to sign Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini, according to reports in Spain.

The Italian defender is one of the best central defenders in the world and has drawn interest from a host of Premier League clubs including Chelsea, Manchester United earlier. However, Mundo Deportivo claims that Los Blancos are front runners for the 32-year old.

Real Madrid are initially interested in signing Leonardo Bonucci from Juventus but with the Italian champions keen to keep hold off Bonucci, the Spanish giants have turned their sights onto the veteran defender who could provide the short-term solution for their defensive crisis that will happen in summer.

Pepe is set to leave Santiago Bernabeu this summer as he has not signed a new contract and his deal will expire this summer which prompted Real Madrid to look for new players int he market.

However, it will not be easy for Real Madrid to lure the defender as he has been at Turin since 2005 and has been a cornerstone. Zinedine Zidane is keen to freshen up his defence in the summer and have reportedly made both Bonucci and Chiellini as his top defensive targets.

It is believed that any deal for the proven defender will involve young Spanish defender Jesus Vallejo going to Turin as he is considered as one of the best young talents at the club. The 20-year-old is currently on-loan at Eintracht Frankfurt as part of his development.

Real Madrid are ready to offer in excess of €60 million to strengthen their back line for next season as they will have only Raphael Varane and Sergio Ramos as proven central defenders on their roster for the upcoming season.

It remains to be seen whether Juventus would be tempted into a deal as they currently boast the best defensive roster in entire Europe.
