Chelsea are ready to swap Nemanja Matic plus £48m for Juventus centre back Leonardo Bonucci .
Antonio Conte wants to be reunited with his former defender Bonucci having won three Serie A titles with him at Juve, according to the Sun.
Juve value Bonucci at £60m but would consider the lower bid if a player was included - with Matic set to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, with Manchester United also keen.
Massimilano Allegri is looking to cash in on the centre back after he accused him of not following instructions during the Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid.
Bonnuci has previously played for Inter MIlan and Bari but has never played outside of Italy.
The 30-year-old has 70 caps for his county, seven Serie A titles and three Italian Cups.
