Marotta: ‘Bonucci wants Juventus return’

By Football Italia staff

Juventus general manager Giuseppe Marotta confirms Milan captain Leonardo Bonucci “wants to come to us and we want to satisfy him”.

The centre-back left the Bianconeri in a shock €40m move last summer, but he now wants to leave San Siro.

Reports have emerged in recent days that he’s keen on a return to Turin, and that has been confirmed tonight.

“Leonardo wants to come to us and we want to satisfy him,” Marotta is quoted as saying TopCalcio24.

“It’s a complicated negotiation though. We’re trying and we’ve offered [Gonzalo] Higuain to the Rossoneri, but without a positive result.

"I'll be at the Lega Serie A for the fixtures tomorrow and we can talk.

"Higuain to Chelsea? They're following him, but it's not easy.

“Mattia Caldara to Milan? He’s unsellable for us.”

There is a video of Marotta being quizzed by reporters in which he says "no comment", but it appears this is not the same interview being quoted by TopCalcio24, whose journalist Marialuisa Jacobelli is said to have spoken to Marotta.
