Bonucci: I didn't feel important at Juventus

The Italy international centre-back has explained his reasons for making the shock move to fellow Serie A giants Milan

Leonardo Bonucci has admitted that he did not feel important at Serie A champions Juventus after joining rivals AC Milan.

Bonucci's move from Juve to Milan was officially completed on Thursday in a deal reportedly worth €42 million

The 30-year-old's exit from Turin came amid speculation of a row with Juve head coach Massimiliano Allegri and Bonucci has done little to deny those rumours.

"Having discussions over the years is normal, as I am someone who is very direct and always speaks the truth," Bonucci – who helped Juve to six successive Serie A titles – told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
