In the latest transfer news, Italian international Leonardo Bonucci is poised to leave Germany and Berlin, not for a return to Italy as speculated, but for a new chapter in Turkey.
Contrary to previous reports that linked Bonucci with a return to Italian clubs Genoa and Roma, the former Juventus defender has reportedly chosen to move to Fenerbahce in Turkey.
According to the Italian daily Tuttosport, a key role in persuading Bonucci to accept the Turkish club’s overtures was played by Edin Dzeko. Known for his influential presence both on and off the pitch, Dzeko has seemingly managed to convince Bonucci of the prospects at Fenerbahce.
The report further reveals that Bonucci is set to be offered a six-month contract worth 2.8 million. This move denotes Bonucci’s final stint overseas, painting an exciting image of the player’s career trajectory.
As the transfer window continues, this story indeed adds an interesting twist to the rumours surrounding one of Italy’s high-profile defenders.
