    Italian centre-back Leonardo Bonucci has reportedly held talks with Newcastle

    HERE WE GO !!!!

    Veteran Italian centre-back Leonardo Bonucci has reportedly held talks with Newcastle with Juventus said to be open to the possibility of letting him leave this summer.

    The Juve and Italy captain has been one of the top defenders in Europe for over a decade and has made over 500 appearances for the Old Lady across two spells.

    His current contract expires at the end of next season and Calciomercato claim his time in Italy could be about to come to an end.

    Bonucci is said to have little interest in a move to Saudi Arabia or the MLS as he seeks 'one last important adventure' and Newcastle are now contemplating a move.

    The Italian outlet have revealed that an initial meeting has taken place between the Magpies and Bonucci's representatives but there is still plenty to be considered before an offer is made.

    Bonucci has won the Serie A title on nine occasions and led his country to their triumph at Euro 2020.

    He wouldn't be Newcastle's first big signing from Serie A this summer having announced the £52m arrival of Sandro Tonali from AC Milan on a five-year deal.

    How old is he? Maybe a good move, Tonali the only Italian at the club could help him settle in?

    36 yrs old.

    I really don't understand this link. Unless he's gonna come in with a view to being a coach next year.

    I guess we do need to add players with Champions League Winning pedigree however this is a very odd one.

    A player who's legs are gonna struggle with the pace of the Premier League. Perhaps he'll be out Tiago Silva.

    If we sign him I'll trust Howe knows what he's doing and there is a real strategic reason for signing a player who will be on massive wages, one foot in retirement.

    Certainly a departure from the profile of players we are focusing on.

    Be very surprised if this is true.

    Maybe we can buy him and then sell him for a billion dollars to a club in the Saudi league?

    I think this would be a great move.

    Real CL experience and would add some real nous into our defensive unit.

    I'd be happy if this came off.
