Mourinho pushing to complete Leonardo Bonucci deal before world cup ends

Mourinho is keen on bolstering his defensive options during the summer transfer window and Bonucci, 31, has emerged as a top target in recent days.

Toby Alderweireld was strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford earlier in the summer but any deal involving the Tottenham and Belgium star will have to wait until after the World Cup.
The Red Devils have also expressed interest in signing Jerome Boateng, but Bayern Munich have slapped a £50million price-tag on the German’s head.

Bonucci could be signed for cheaper as UEFA prepare to impose sanctions on the Italian giants for breaching Financial Fair Play Rules.

Corriere dello Sport say Mourinho is a huge admirer of Bonucci and wants Manchester United to secure his signature imminently as he knows an auction could take place which will raise his fee.
