With noticeable annoyance, Leonardo Bonucci has spoken against Juventus and stressed that he did not receive the best treatment during his last months, seeking to promote his departure.

Likewise, he highlighted that he always showed his availability to be able to stay and help the young people. It should be noted that This season he is part of Unión Berlin.
“I have read and heard false things about both Juventus and the coach. For example, it is false that in October and February I was informed of the intention to end the relationship at the end of the season. In fact, at the end of May I had given my availability to be the fifth/sixth option in defense…”says the central veteran.
As Leonardo Bonucci tells it, Juventus encouraged him to leave the club, despite being considered one of the legends. Continuity was an issue that mattered little to the player, the idea was to end his career with the ‘bianconeros’. However, he pointed out that they did not respect his trajectory.
“I found out something by reading the newspapers until, on July 13, Giuntoli and Manna came to my house and told me that I would no longer be part of the Juventus squad. They told me that my presence on the field would hinder the growth of the team… This was the biggest humiliation after 500 games with the ‘bianconera’ shirt. I appreciated the solidarity of many players, including current ones, from Juventus and other clubs. Everyone expressed their sympathy for the club’s disrespectful behavior.”added the Italian.
Bonucci will sue Juventus
At 36 years of age, Leonardo Bonnucci signed by Union Berlin and this season he will spend his first adventure in the Bundesliga. However, he will not leave unpunished the “mistreatment” that he alleged he suffered from Juventus. According to information from Mundo Deportivo, the defender will sue the club for professional damages since they did not let him train with his teammates or meet with the coaching staff.
