Juventus' Leonardo Bonucci denies contact with Manchester City

Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci has said there was no contact between him and Manchester City in the summer and reaffirmed his commitment to the Italian champions.

He said the Juve shirt is "sewn to my body" and dismissed rumours which had linked him with a move to the Premier League, where one of his biggest admirers -- Pep Guardiola -- is currently in charge of City.

"I never called anybody and they never called me personally," Bonucci told RAI television when asked about City's reported interest.

"I feel I have the Juve shirt sewn to my body because I breathe it every day, but wearing the national team shirt is also an honour.
