Leonardo Bonucci Open to New Challenges
Italian defender Leonardo Bonucci is contemplating a fresh start away from his current club, Juventus, as the January transfer window presents an opportunity for change. The seasoned centre-back, who has been a pivotal figure in the Serie A, is considering his options for a new chapter in his career.
Bonucci, who has been with Juventus for a significant part of his career, revealed that he was on the brink of a transfer to Manchester City in 2016. A staggering offer of almost £100 million was on the table, but after discussions with Juventus, he chose to stay with the Turin-based club. The Italian international also acknowledged that there were negotiations in 2017, yet his loyalty to Juventus prevailed, as he followed his heart’s direction.
The 35-year-old defender, known for his robust defending and leadership at the back, has been a key player for Juventus and the Italian national team. His experience and tactical acumen have been instrumental in the successes of both teams over the years.
As reported by The Sun, Bonucci’s openness to exploring new horizons could see him part ways with Juventus if the right opportunity arises. With the January transfer window open, it remains to be seen if Bonucci will indeed turn the page and embark on a new footballing journey.
