Juventus has communicated to Leonardo Bonucci that he does not figure into their plans for the forthcoming season, as the club aims to embark on a new trajectory.
The Bianconeri have exerted considerable effort to enhance their squad, and Cristiano Giuntoli has also made it a priority to ensure that undesired players are not retained within the team.
Juventus is earnestly seeking to overhaul its roster, and given that Bonucci commands a significant salary, offloading him would result in substantial cost savings for the club.
Although Juventus has made it unequivocal that Bonucci is surplus to requirements, the manner in which they intend to let him go has sparked dissatisfaction within the Association of Italian Footballers.
Its president has blasted Juve. Umberto Calcagno said, as quoted by Tuttomercatoweb:
“The situation he is experiencing is paradoxical: he is objectively out of the squad, he suffers illegitimate conduct prohibited by the agreement collective, his dignity is trampled on. Juve must reinstate him immediately, he is suffering serious professional damages”.
Juve FC Says
Bonucci has served us well since he has been at the club and we have also shown him support. Now is the best time to leave and he must accept his fate instead of causing trouble for us.
Calcagno could go to the hell…
First time I’ve ever agreed with Martin. Bonucci needs to leave. The AIC is there to represent the players. In this case, juve shouldn’t give 2 cents what the AIC says. Players have total control in Italy. They can demand transfers, they can hold a club hostage until they get what they want. Contracts mean nothing to most players, but clubs have to adhere to them. Bonucci lost his black and white loyalty when he took off to Milan. He should have stayed there.
He should leave quietly and thank Juve for making his career what it is.
