Arsenal, Monaco and Borussia Dortmund are all interested in signing Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci, according to Tuttosport.

Leonardo Bonucci is no stranger to interest from abroad and he is reportedly being tracked by three major clubs as he trains with Italy’s World Cup squad.

The solid centre-back, who has played a crucial role in Juventus’ three consecutive Serie A titles, is renowned for his calm and excellence on the ball and he looks set to play an important role for Italy in Brazil.

Bonucci was linked with Tottenham in January, but now reports suggest that Arsenal are keen to sign him, along with French giants Monaco and Borussia Dortmund.

According to Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, Arsenal have made contact with Juventus over the last few weeks to ask about Bonucci.

The player has always stressed that he is keen to stay where he is and dreams of winning the Champions League with the Bianconeri, but the problem for Juventus may lie in balancing the books.

The Old Lady seem to be set to land Barcelona forward Alexis Sanchez and know that they need to streamline if they are to add to their squad.

Dortmund have the advantage of already being in talks with Juventus over striker Ciro Immobile, although the two sides have reportedly fallen out over the fee, while Monaco have substantial amounts of money to spend.
