The Biancocelesti club is making moves to secure the defender who is now out of Juventus’ plans: negotiations are underway.
A lot of deals come true in Italy on Ferragosto (Mid-August). Timing can make a difference and shape the future. Lazio has the luxury of waiting, but Leonardo Bonucci does not.
The Biancocelesti club is also in the run for the defender, who has been excluded from Allegri’s team and is set to leave Juventus this summer. He no longer fits into their plans. The door has closed in Turin, while two opportunities elsewhere have emerged.
Union Berlin, fourth in the last Bundesliga season, has already sent a written proposal to the player, who has until tomorrow to give a definitive response to the Germans.
Intense contemplations, a dilemma to unravel within 48 hours. Should he accept the overseas offer or wait for Lazio, without any certainty from Lotito? These are heated days for Bonucci, who turned 36 in May, caught off guard by Juventus’ behavior and now in search of an ambitious team to conclude a highly distinguished career.
Lazio-Juve, Negotiations Extend to Pellegrini and Rovella. Here arise considerations about the 1987-born player: Lazio has conducted an initial inquiry, showing genuine interest, and there have been new contacts with his entourage on Sunday evening. However, his signing is not a priority at the moment.
Lotito has two weeks to offload surplus players and assess the feasibility of such reinforcement. This addition would enhance the central defensive department. Conversations with Juventus are very much alive for the dual deal involving the full-back and Rovella.
Bonucci is drawn to the prospect of remaining in Italy and getting closer to his hometown of Viterbo, but he risks being caught off guard by an operation that may not even come to fruition. On the other hand, Union Berlin has set a deadline for tomorrow (offering an annual salary of around 2 million euros).
The Germans are also set to be featured in the Champions League, a destination that entices him. Union Berlin or Lazio that is the question that he will have to answer very fast. Union Berlin awaits Bonucci. That is, unless he awaits Lazio.
