Leonardo Bonucci, Roma suddenly moves away.

Leonardo Bonucci-Roma, negotiations have è stalled

The negotiation, until a few hours ago almost certain, that was supposed to bring Leonardo Bonucci from Union Berlin to Roma during the January market seems to have run aground. According to reports in the 'Corriere dello Sport', in fact, the Giallorossi club’s ownership has vetoed the investment of around 2 million for a player who has already passed the 36-year mark.

No "apprenticeship" therefore, at José Mourinho’s court even with a view to a future as a coach for Bonucci, who, according to this, will continue, barring further reversals, his German adventure at Union, an'experience so far in reality devoid of great satisfaction, with elimination from the European Cups and a deficit position in the Bundesliga (fourth-last place, +3 on the relegation zone having in any case played one game less than their rivals).

As far as Roma is concerned, on the other hand, it will be necessary to look further around in search of a central defender who can expand the rotation, given Chris Smalling's never-ending physical problems and the imminent departure for the African Cup of Nations of Evan N'Dicka, who will join the Ivorian national team in January for the review that the Elephants will play at home.

In addition to that, Roma must be very careful with yellow cards in the upcoming match against Juventus scheduled at Allianz Stadium on Dec. 30 (kickoff at 8:45 p.m.): Gianluca Mancini and Bryan Cristante are in fact cautioned, and if they are cautioned, they would leave the central area of the backline uncovered in the next league match against Atalanta.
