Rumours are starting to emerge that Leonardo Bonucci is unhappy at Juventus and has asked to be sold in January.
The 35-year-old Italian centre back has not looked his best this season, being one of many Bianconeri players to suffer during their sluggish start to the season. He was relegated to the bench for the 1-0 derby win over Torino yesterday but did make an appearance in the second half.
As reported by journalist Giulio Mola, Bonucci’s relationship with coach Massimiliano Allegri has seemingly broken down and the defender has asked Juventus to sell him in the upcoming January transfer window.
Some rumours also link him with a move to Antonio Conte’s Tottenham, although his performances this season suggest that he may struggle with the speed of the Premier League.
The 35-year-old Bonucci has made six Serie A appearances so far this season, for a total of 410 minutes. In that time, he’s scored one goal but failed to show his best defensively.
