In the most surprising summer transfer in the Italian Serie A, Italy centre-back Leonardo Bonucci has left champions Juventus FC to join AC Milan for a fee of 40 million Euros.
At Milan, Bonucci has signed a five year contract which is subject to a medical.
Bonucci had arrived at Juventus as a talented prospect from AS Bari in 2010 and he went on to become a pillar of the famous Juventus backline, forming a world-class defensive partnership with Italy team mates Gianluigi Buffon, Giorgio Chiellini and Andrea Barzagli.
It took just two seasons for the 30-year-old to begin writing history together at the Old Lady, playing a critical part in each of the club’s record six-straight Scudetto wins; his own individual growth, development and role in the squad charting the same rapid rise throughout.
There would also be three consecutive Coppa Italia successes and just as many Italian Super Cups to celebrate, all lifted with pride.
Now Leonardo Bonucci leaves Juventus for alleged differences with head coach Massimo Allegri and joins AC Milan, who have been spending big after the takeover by a Chinese group as they now want to challenge Juventus for the Serie A title and also play a role in Europe again in the years to come.
