Leonardo Bonucci isn't paying attention to rumours linking him with a move away from Juventus.

The Italian defender reiterated his desire to remain in Turin, a city he and his family have grown fond of since he signed with Juve in 2010.

"I'm fine in Turin, my family is happy here," Bonucci told Quotidiano Sportivo, as translated by Football Italia.

"I'm proud to be part of the history of Juve and I see no reason to leave. The marriage to the Bianconeri was done last year.

"With my agent we organise things like this: we evaluate any offers at the end of the season. But again, I'm fine at Juventus. This is my home."

The 28-year-old has been at the centre of transfer rumours linking him with a move to Chelsea as his former manager at Juve, Antonio Conte, gets set to take over at Stamford Bridge.

Bonucci signed a new contract with the Bianconeri last summer that's designed to keep him at Juventus Stadium until 2018.
