Revealed: Buffon gave green light to Bonucci's AC Milan move

Leonardo Bonucci’s move to AC Milan is one of the most astonishing transfer news of the last few years. Regarded as the best centre-back in the world, Bonucci has left Juventus after a seven-year loan spell in Turin.

Calciomercato.com reported earlier this week that Juventus and Bonucci parted companies due to some problems emerged during the last campaign. The defender was not on on good tems anymore with Max Allegri and part of Juventus’ locker room.

AC Milan managed to welcome the player’s services for € 42 million, making him one of the most expensive centre-back in the history.

Il Corriere della Sera (via ilbianconero) confirms that Bonucci’s bad relationship with Allegri and with part of his teammates are the main reasons why he swapped Turin with Milan.

The Italian paper claims Juve president Andrea Agnelli asked Buffon whether selling Bonucci would have been a bad or a good idea with the Italian shotstopper who reportedly gave his green light to Bonucci’s AC Milan move.
