How do you overcome a difficult period of transition? Being relentless in pursuing your target is one way and looks like that is also the way of the Blues.
Chelsea received a major setback a few days ago when Bonucci also became a target for domestic rivals Manchester City. The Blue part of Manchester has the wealth and the willingness to pay any asking price and salary to the player. They also offer the presence in Champions League and a brand new project under Pep Guardiola. While all of it may sound tempting for any player, Chelsea coach Antonio Conte knows Leonardo Bonucci well from their time together at Juventus and Italy national team. Thus according to The Express the Blues are not willing to give up on Bonucci and just roll over and let City do the talking.
Chelsea needs a leader at the defense and Conte feels Bonucci is the one as John Terry serve his one year contract at Stamford Bridge.
