The club legend believes the transfer move for the former Juventus defender can help inspire Milan and return the team to greatness
AC Milan icon Paolo Maldini has welcomed the audacious signing of Leonardo Bonucci from Juventus and hopes the Rossoneri are now equipped to return to the Champions League.
Milan's squad has been comprehensively overhauled in the off-season, Italy international Bonucci joined by the likes of Franck Kessie, Lucas Biglia and Andre Silva in moving to San Siro.
One of the best defenders in the history of the game, Maldini is certainly qualified to assess the merits of Milan's marquee signing and the 49-year-old, who hung up his boots in 2009, is a fan of his Azzurri successor.
