Italian defender Leonardo Bonucci is not for sale. This is what Italian giants Juventus FC have reportedly told Pep Guardiola and his Manchester City side, according to Italian newspaper TuttoSport.
Back in February this year, Pep described Bonucci as one of his "favourite players ever" as his former team Bayern Munich prepared to face Juve in the UEFA Champions League Last 16.
The Citizens are believed to have put £38M on the table for the services of the Azzurri player who is on contract with the Old Lady until 2020. This fee would represent the highest selling fee for Juve since their £41M sale of Zinedine Zidane to Real Madrid, 15 years ago.
Man City also presented the player with a £6M per year salary. Meanwhile, English news source Daily Mail suggests that the player may very well choose to snub a move to the Etihad stadium and instead opt for a reunion with Italy boss Antonio Conte, at Chelsea.
At UEFA Euro 2016, Leonardo Bonucci provided an assist in Italy's opening game against Belgium. He recorded an 86 per cent pass accuracy. Bonucci also netted his country's equalizing goal from the spot against Germany. His adventure ended that same night as the Germans got the better of their opponents and marched onto the semis.
