Manchester City are preparing a fresh pursuit of Leonardo Bonucci of Juventus, making him their top defensive target.

Pep Guardiola has long been enamored by Bonucci.

Bonucci signed a contract extension until 2021 with Juve in December, but he hinted last week that he could now be prepared to make a move to England after telling So Foot that the Premier League "fascinates" him.

City could face competition for the defender's signature from Chelsea.

Bonucci had a heated argument with Massimiliano Allegri in February but they've since claimed to settle the issue.
