Leonardo Bonucci 'has held talks over a shock move to Newcastle' with an exit from Juventus 'more possible than ever' - as the legendary Italian defender seeks 'one last adventure' before he retires next summer

Veteran Italian centre-back Leonardo Bonucci has reportedly had a meeting with Newcastle amid talk that Juventus may be willing to let him leave this summer.

The Juve and Italy captain has been one of the top defenders in Europe for over a decade and has made over 500 appearances for the Old Lady across two spells.

His current contract expires at the end of next season and Calciomercato claim his time in Italy could be about to come to an end.

Bonucci is said to have little interest in a move to Saudi Arabia or the MLS as he seeks 'one last important adventure' and Newcastle are now contemplating a move.
