Antonio Conte’s personal relationship with Leonardo Bonucci is likely a key motivator behind any prospective deal – and it could prove crucial should the transfer come to fruition too.

Bonucci has played under Conte countless times before, and as a result, he likely knows exactly what the new Chelsea boss wants.

There will be no adjustment period and there will be no need for time to gel. As soon as Bonucci joins the club – he will immediately know what Conte is looking for.

For a club like Chelsea, who need a quick fix – Bonucci could be absolutely perfect.
