According to La Repubblica, former Juventus captain Leonardo Bonucci is close to a move to Roma in January, with only a few details to be finalised.
The controversial star was forced to leave Torino City this summer, with the Bianconeri deciding to remove him from the squad and strip him of his captaincy. The 36-year-old was initially reluctant to leave, but eventually decided to accept Union Berlin's offer to play in Germany.
Despite this, Bonucci did not have a good time in the German capital, and he was nothing more than a substitute. Thus, according to La Repubblica, Bonucci and Berlin may decide to end this inglorious experience early next month.
Union Berlin are willing to terminate Bonucci's contract, allowing him to join another club on a free transfer. According to the report, the veteran's next stop is likely to be in the Italian capital. It is reported that Leonardo Bonucci is close to signing a contract with Roma and Mourinho is looking to strengthen the defence.
According to the report, the negotiations between the two sides are going well, and they only need to finalize some remaining details to reach a final agreement.
Leonardo Bonucci has already played for the top three in northern Italy and was an Inter player early in his career before Bari's rise to prominence. Leonardo Bonucci joined Juventus in 2010 and moved to AC Milan in 2017, but returned to Torino a year later before leaving again in bitter fashion this summer.
According to Spanish newspaper Sport Mundo, Barcelona are interested in bringing in Rugani next season, which could force Juventus to extend the Italian defender's contract as soon as possible.
Now, the Bianconeri's directors are in the midst of several contract extension talks and they want to keep some players in the squad as a basis for the next few years, and Rugani is one of the Juventus players whose management is negotiating a new contract.
Rugani's contract with Juventus expires at the end of the season, so the club must speed up the renewal negotiations at this time. In addition, media outlets from Spain claim that Barcelona are keeping a close eye on the centre-back's situation.
According to Sport Mundo, Barcelona intend to sign a defender on a free run next summer, with the Catalan giant's Rugani and Atletico Madrid's Hermoso as the main targets.
Despite this, the report suggests that Juventus still have an advantage over Barca, who are still out of talks with the 29-year-old Rugani. That said, the emergence of Barcelona could force Juventus to speed up their plans.
Juventus want to sign Rugani to a long-term contract, but they want to lower his salary. Currently, Rugani's annual salary is €3 million.
Despite spending most of his time as a substitute at Juventus, the centre-back has proven himself to be a solid option. This season, Rugani has made eight Serie A appearances and contributed one goal.
Fabrizio Romano, a well-known Italian journalist, reports that Juventus will extend the contract of Brazilian defender Bremer until 2028 with a salary increase in the coming days.
Bremer joined city club Bianconeri from Torino in the summer of 2022 when the Brazilian defender signed a five-year contract until 2027. Even with several years to go before his contract expires, management is already working to extend Bremer for another year with the 26-year-old.
This is primarily a financial strategy to allow the club to spread the amortised cost of Bremer's transfer fee over a longer period of time. Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Juventus and Bremer have now reached an agreement and the two sides are expected to sign a new contract in the coming days.
Fabrizio Romano said on his official account that Bremer will renew his contract until 2028 and that his salary will be increased.
