The Manchester Evening News claims it was Juventus who offered Leonardo Bonucci to Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola has often praised the Italy international defender, calling him one of his “favourite ever players.”
His performances at Euro 2016 only further raised the 29-year-old’s profile.
While Italian reports had Juve resisting offers of up to €60m for Bonucci, the Manchester Evening News paints a very different picture.

According to the source in England, it was a third party who approached Manchester City to encourage a bid.
“It is understood that City were approached over a deal for Bonucci, rather than the other way round.
“Contact was made by a third party with a view to securing a move to the Etihad this summer.”
