Leonardo Bonucci on verge of shock AC Milan transfer

Highly-rated Italian defender and Juventus first-team star Leonardo Bonucci looks set to complete a shock move to AC Milan.

Sky Italia reports that there are only few details remaining to be agreed between the two sides before Leonardo Bonucci officially becomes an AC Milan player.

After seven years in Turin and widely spread speculations that he might join any of the Premier League giants lined up behind him, the 30-year-old dubbed one of the best defenders in the world is likely to become another high-profile investment from AC Milan’s new Chinese owners.

The Rossoneri have already spent more than £100 million on players which include former Porto striker Andre Silva, Ricardo Rodriguez, Hakan Calhanoglu, Andrea Conti, Franck Kessie and Mateo Musacchio among others.

Bonucci is reported to have agreed on a contract with AC Milan and will be transferred to the city of Milano on the back of a €40 million free.
