Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci plays down Chelsea link

Juventus centre-back Leonardo Bonucci insists that he will not be following Antonio Conte to Chelsea in the summer.

Leonardo Bonucci has dismissed the suggestion that he will be a Chelsea player at the start of next season.

Recent speculation claimed that the Juventus defender was a prime target of Antonio Conte, who is expected to take charge at Stamford Bridge once his managerial commitments with the Italian national side are over after Euro 2016.

However, while the pair share a close bond, the 28-year-old has insisted that he will remain in Turin.

"If I've ever followed Conte, then it's been to get a coffee at most," he told reporters.

"I don't know where he's going to go, but I've signed a new contract at Juventus and I'm only thinking about the Bianconeri."

Bonucci joined Juve from Bari in 2010 and has gone on to make over 250 appearances for the club.
