Bonucci to Milan?

I don't find that very ambitious with the team you currently have you should be contenders to push Juve all the way. If you add a good striker like Belotti or Auba (which you really should) and maybay one more creative player to spice things up upfront together with Hakan, Kessie in midfield and Rodriguez and De sciglio as fullbacks, Bonucci and Romagnioli as CB pair and Donna in goal you almost have a worldclass team that could knick it from Juve. Now ofcourse you need time to gell it all together and balance it out but that should not take you 2/3 seasons, atleast if you can keep onto your big players that is.

There's definitely another striker coming in. Don't know if it'll be just Kalinic or him + Auba/Belotti. And this board will not allow the big players to leave unless there's a good enough reason, as seen with Donnarumma in the last few weeks.
 
From the report on the 2nd page of this page it sounds to me a good decision from Juventus too, Milan are back challenging for sure with thier investments but thier wage structure must me broken with that.

Back to Juve, get rid of Bonucci whos become 'a bad apple' in that Juventus team as far as the manager is concerned. Similarly with Alves, 35 his best days are clearly over despite cementing his status as one of the greatest full backs ever.

young promising Rugani looks set to get plenty of chances now, Benatia you just kinda hope he steps up to previous performance levels.

Sounds reminicent of some ruthless decision making Sir Alex Ferguson even made.

Honestly, when i first heard that i thought it's a joke. This transfer does not make sense whatsoever.

On a side note a bit, @van der star, what's your opinion on Pašalić?

Doubt he's coming back. Conte seems more willing to let him go to Galatasaray because Igor Tudor is the coach there. He's on the last year of his contract with Chelsea so maybe there's a small chance that Fassone and Mirabelli might put in a cheeky bid to buy him. Then again, the midfield is sorted for now with the arrivals of Biglia and Kessie. His agent said that their last contact with Milan was in May, and that Mario's priority is to return to Milan. But he also has offers from other Italian, Spanish and German clubs.

Pasalic and Deulofeu were the best loaned players year in the squad. Pasalic had great dynamism and he carried the ball quite well. No back problems as he had during his last loan spell at Monaco. He had 27 overall presences, after winning the trust of Montella around November. You could clearly see the difference in the team's performance when he missed matches. Scored 5 goals, 1 on the day before his birthday, set up by Deulofeu, against Bologna, which basically helped Milan's 9 win against Bologna's 11. His penalty in Doha helped the Rossoneri win their first silverware in 5 years, the Supercoppa, and the 29th and last one for Berlusconi and Galliani.
 
This transfer is weird but it's not like he's joining Sassuolo. Milan are a bigger club than Juve.
 
As expected, Dani Alves is a fecking twat.

Although the possibility of this being a Juve-orchestrated attack on two recently departed players shouldn't be ruled out.

Most expensive player over 30 years of age. The former record was held by Batistuta-Roma (32.5 million euro) in 2000. According to Opta, he played more matches (275 in all competitions) than any other Juve player in the last 6 seasons. In the all-time ranking of the most paid defenders, Bonucci is ranked eighth, fourth in the CBs. Second place is David Luiz (from Chelsea to PSG for 49.5 million), with Otamendi coming in third (from Porto to Manchester City for 44 million euros in 2016).
 
How can Manduzick leak such serious information that easily to the media ? Juve should probably be trying to cover this not make it clear.

Not sure how reliable this is, but:

Extraordinary details are emerging about Leonardo Bonucci and Dani Alves in a locker room brawl during the Champions League Final, confirmed by Mario Mandzukic.

There were already reports of a row at half-time in Cardiff between Bonucci and Paulo Dybala, denied by everyone involved, but it now seems as if the only incorrect detail was the protagonist and the timing.

It occurred before the 4-1 defeat to Real Madrid and involved Dani Alves instead of Dybala.

“I want to intervene to silence the rumours of an ugly atmosphere inside the Juve locker room,” Mandzukic was quoted as telling Serbian reporter Darko Meznovic.

“It was simply Bonucci and Dani Alves to have created this chaos and, fortunately, with their sales everything will become calm again.

“They were the ones who had a row during the Final and it’s simply because they have diametrically opposed personalities. Leo and Dani would argue all the time and, on the day of the Final, we simply watched another of their many dramas.

“As soon as we got into the locker room, everyone had treated this like a normal game with just three points up for grabs, or at least that’s how it seemed. So we expected Dani Alves to do his usual routine of putting on the Radio Party Groove music in the locker room while we were getting changed.

“This time, though, he didn’t stop there. He went over the top, playing Samba Do Janeiro at full volume as if he wanted to break our eardrums and then started dancing like there was no tomorrow.

“I thought he was being stupid, but ignored him and went to my locker. Leo didn’t, as for him the Champions League was an obsession.

“He went up to Dani and said he’d break his legs in three seconds if he didn’t turn off that music. Obviously, a row erupted and it just kept going, until Dani Alves said that if he lost the Final, he’d still have three Champions League trophies in his locker, whereas Bonucci had none.

“At that point, everyone turned around scandalised. I’ve won the Champions League, but I’d never dare say something like that. We shouldn’t even have thought about the eventuality of defeat.

“Then Leo grabbed Dani by the throat and, as he was about to punch him, Max (Allegri) divided them and took a decision of a real leader: he said he didn’t care who started it, but at the end of the game they’d both get kicked out.

“It was the wisest decision ever made. Now, the group is calm and united again, without the annoying bragging of Leo and the usual Brazilian pain in the neck of Dani Alves, who would never let us just get changed and focus.”

This would explain why Bonucci was sold to Milan for just €42m and Dani Alves even had his contract terminated early by mutual consent.

It also makes clear why the only Juve player to publicly salute Bonucci was Gigi Buffon, while Dani Alves was also largely ignored after his move to PSG.

Apparently these quotes aren't true. The reporter's name is made up

Looks like it. Havent seen anything reliable, seems made up by a Juve fan to justify the sale of them.

There may be an argument happened in the dressing room this day, it's a possibility but the way Manduzic is talking about both in these quotes doesn't make any sense. No player will talk about such a matter in this way freely on the media, so I tend to believe the quotes may be fake.

That makes sense now. The quotes were illogical.

Thanks for that. :) too bad he won't continue at Milan, I think it would be better for his career to stay there. He's becoming a nice player it seems.
