Manchester United transfer news: Mourinho wants to sign Bonucci
MANCHESTER UNITED manager is keen on making a £30million move for Leonardo Bonucci – knowing that cash-strapped AC Milan need to raise funds quickly.
The Red Devils boss is ready to take advantage of those cash-flow problems with a bid for the central defender who only arrived from Juventus last summer.
Milan need to raise around £45m before the transfer window closes and Bonucci is a player they are willing to part with.
Bonucci quit Juve last summer after their disastrous Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid in Cardiff.
His arrival at the San Siro was expected to bring a new era of success to a historic club that has hit hard times in recent years.
Bonucci was part of a £150m net spending spree that proved to be a disaster, with Milan finishing sixth in Serie A having sacked manager Vincenzo Montella.
Gennaro Gattuso managed to steady the ship but Milan’s financial woes have rumbled on into the summer.
Investors Elliott Management took over the club this month after Milan’s Chinese owners failed to repay a debt of £28m (€32m).
Meanwhile, Manchester United are set to sell Dutch defender Daley Blind back to his former club Ajax for an initial £14.1m, which could become £18.5m with add-ons.
