Ballon D'or 2016 rejects XI

#3 Leonardo Bonucci

Bonucci’s impressive performances for Juventus and the national team have linked him with a move away

Another Juventus man to feature in this list, Bonucci put in a great defensive partnership with Chiellini and Barzagli at the heart of the defence for both Juventus and Italy. The 29-year-old, along with Chiellini, won a fifth consecutive Scudetti for Juventus and the contribution of the Italian should not be overlooked.

Rumours of Chelsea’s €50m bid for the Juventus man shows just how good he is and he surely deserved to make the 30-man shortlist for his excellent displays.
