Manchester City are preparing to raise their offer for Leonardo Bonucci after Juventus turned down €45m.

Sky Sport Italia and Tuttosport both claimed that Juve turned down a €45m proposal last night.

Now the Daily Telegraph suggests it was only the opening bid in a negotiation process that will continue.

Bonucci is considered a key figure in the Juventus and Italy defence, so the Turin giants would not be prepared to sell for less than around €58m (£50m).

New City manager Pep Guardiola was still at Bayern Munich when he called Bonucci one of his favourite players in the world.
