Juventus, Bonucci demands midfield reinforcement, confirms Man City talks
“Honestly, we are short of options in midfield because we have many players that are still not fit as they are recovering from injuries. Asamoah is out of action, Sturaro and Marchisio have just recovered from an injury, Lemina is not always 100% fit, we have to give our best because we want to win all competitions.”
Bouncci, a long-time target of Manchester City, has also confirmed talks with the Premier League giants. “They wanted me last summer, but I didn’t call Soriano. I called nobody, they wanted to sign me, but they didn’t contact me personally.”
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is a long-time admirer of the Italy defender and has never hided his interest for the Juventus’ centre-back.
Bonucci, 29, has one goal in 14 appearances in all competitions so far this season.
