Italian international Leonardo Bonucci arrived Milan on Friday to
complete his transfer from Juventus. The 30 year old central defender
was the subject of a £35m bid from the Rossoneri on Friday.
Regarded as arguably the best central defender in the world, Bonucci
leaves Juventus after a seven year stay, winning six Seria A titles
and three Coppa Italia.
His move to the San Siro has come as a surprise to many with Milan
legend Gattuso branding it a joke that turned out to be true.
He fell out with Maxi Allegri last season and was not included in a
match day squad during the last campaign. Although, he was still
regarded as a key stalwart of the Old Lady's backline, which makes
this move completely unexpected.
AC Milan have spent huge sums in the transfer market this summer. An
amount that has gone beyond the €100m mark. The seven time European
champions have struggled since they last won the Seria A title in
2012. They finished sixth last season after another season plagued by
inconsistencies.
However, after they were bought over by a Chinese investment group,
the club is now awash with cash to make big name signings.
Current manager, Montella would be hoping to mode a side that can
rival Juventus domestic dominance with the signings the club have made
this summer. And Bonucci is likely not to be the club's last signing.
